I am not sure how other people are doing this task, but for me, I really
needed to be able to read the place names on the nodes, but the text was
way too small.
You can create a custom style file that will improve their readability
greatly, at least it did for me.
You create a text file and name it whatever you want with a .mapcss
extension. Mine is:
blake.mapcss
then you put in this code:
node[place=town],
node[place=village],
node[place=hamlet],
node[place=isolated_dwelling],
node[place=neighbourhood],
node[place=suburb] {
icon-image: "place/settlement/town.png";
text: auto;
font-size: 13;
font-weight: bold;
text-color: white;
text-halo-color: black;
text-halo-radius:1;
}
And save it somewhere, where doesn't really matter as long as you can
find it.
Then View Menu->Map Paint Styles->Map Paint Preferences
Click the "+" button on the right hand side, name your style and use the
find file dialog button to find your file.
Mine came in at the bottom of the list and that works fine. Just make
sure it is checked.
There is also a Map Paint Styles panel you can display by clicking its
button along the left hand side of the main JOSM window.
You can adjust the font-size of course by editing your custom file.
Hope that helps.
