2011-06-15 Thread Adam Ratcliffe

Andy, You are quite right, the image itself does not have a resolution. What I meant was change the resolution that mapnik assumes that you will print the image at, so that your 12pt font appears at 12pt size on the printed page etc. There is an implied resolution of (I think) around 90ish
