I'm well aware of how mapnik works, as well as most of the other renderers, being a developer of software that uses it. In this case cyclemap and osmarender show both names at maximum zoom only. Mapnik will not render one name directly over the top of the other. It will overlap sometimes, on linear ways, but not on areas. In the case of "Campbell Primary School" it only renders one name at even the highest zoom level. What you've done is basically a no-no, DON'T do mass deletes or changes of data without discussing it first. Two responses on the newbies list is not discussing it. Any discussion of this sort needs to be on the talk-au if it affects Au or on the talk or tagging list if it affects everything. -- Cheers Ross _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
