Re: [OSM-dev] Indic fonts on OSM tiles

[Anish Mangal]

Took a bit of effort to compile both mapnik3 and mod_tile from source, but
that fixed it!

Thanks a bunch :)

I tried with two fonts:
'gargi', which is the manilk default (i think) for devanagari
'lohit', another font which is freely available and widely used.

In both cases, the rendering was off.

Upgrade to mapnik 3.

[OSM-dev] Indic fonts on OSM tiles

[Anish Mangal]

Hi,

I was trying to generate map tiles in Hindi language and I noticed that the
rendering of names of a few places is off, perhaps due to the font chosen.

I tried with two fonts:
'gargi', which is the manilk default (i think) for devanagari
'lohit', another font which is freely available and widely used.

In both cases, the rendering was off.

Correct rendering (example): http://picpaste.com/delhi_good-gDYODgsB.png
Incorrect rendering (example):
http://picpaste.com/new_delhi_bad-NM9l7Dg2.png

The name of the place in the above pictures: (New) Delhi

Any pointers on how to fix this?

Cheers,
Anish
