There we get bitten by the appearent French preference for long names. But, the mapnik layer looks better here even though it uses a bigger font. What is it doing differently? What is really needed is a collision detection of names and symbols. When panning around the map a came across this area: http://www.informationfreeway.org/?lat=50.98161075635523&lon=10.21962365942465&zoom=9&layers=B000F000 There, Germany is next to Europe. This looks odd. Matthias _______________________________________________ Tilesathome mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tilesathome
