Hello,

I'm rendering a simple map with country borders and labels, and have come up 
against a problem with placing labels: they are always placed at the polygon's 
center, even if that center is not within the polygon itself. For example, in 
[1], the label for Croatia. By contrast, Mapnik tiles for OpenStreetMap[2] seem 
to have much better placement. What is going on?

The tile[1] was rendered with the latest Mapnik trunk (mapnik2) with this[3] 
configuration file.

Cheers,
-- Alex
