The result of the placename query is 13 Columns, 12 Records in file sig: FEATTYPE:NAME:FEATREL:ATTRREL:PLANACC:SOURCE:CREATED:RETIRED:PID:SYMBOL:FEATWIDTH:ORIENTATN:TEXTNOTE DBF Signatures match! name=YENDA, key=, symbol=, color=8, lanes=1, filled=0, pattern=0, display_level=8192, font_size=2, label_level=8192 label_color=8 (all 12 records same result) which provides no insight as to the failure of this place name to display at levels >128 and =<8192 I have checked every .dbfawk in the directory to ensure I haven't left any duplicate matches for DBF Signatures, but even that hasn't put place names on my map. Is there any setting in my Xastir config file which may influence this? _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
