Hi, now I tried http://trac.mapnik.org/ticket/121#comment:5 Michal's comment (per se a great idea!), but I have some trouble with the request in my XML.
In Postgresql the request "select the_geom,id,REGEXP_REPLACE(UPPER(name), '(.)', E'\\1\xC2\xA0\xC2\xA0', 'g') from lines;" works fine, but in my XML I get no results with the same request: <Parameter name="table">(select the_geom,id,REGEXP_REPLACE(UPPER(name), '(.)', E'\\1\xC2\xA0\xC2\xA0', 'g') from lines) as lines</Parameter> Are there any limitations in XML I don't know? Has anyone an idea? regards, Jürgen spillocaster wrote: > > Hi, > > I was just searching for an option in the textsymbolizer to adjust the > appearance of my labels.
