Hello, Okay ! Thank you. I get it a little better now. I was working on Belgian map, which is close France. The "wrap_character" attributes works only with trunk rev, so that why my trials (in 0.6.1) where fruitless. I will have a look at it. Still having only one breaking char is short as depending on the country standards are changing but I think we can handle a part of this problem with filters (depending on the data source and info we have we could for instance defines different symbols filtering on countries).
I'll keep investigate around ratio and of course share if anything comes out.
