Hi Sergio,
have you tried with advanced labelling on gvSIG? You can access to
"Labels defined by user" and at "Placement" button you can select how
you want to show the labels (Orientation, Location, Duplicates...). Here
you have the Labelling options at the manual:

Not at all, I wanted to clarify just in case I came across as 'this is a
necessary step' and accidentally downplaying QGIS capabilities ;)

Hi Sergio,
Adam recommends a good method for post processing maps. Before going
to post processing, it is worth trying to get the results you want
within QGIS. There have been some major labeling improvements and
overhauls over the years giving QGIS some powerful labeling options.
Here are a
Hi Sergio
Look at inkscape as a post-QGIS labelling and map tweaking system if you
need vector work and typography: https://inkscape.org/
GIMP is for image processing grunt (like Adobe photoshop):

Hi. Where I work we need to find an open alternative to ArcGIS in order to

labeling linear elements. Is there anyone in the list that has experience with
preparing maps for printing with open source software? Does
