I'm running my own Tile Server (mod_tile/renderd created from
packages as described at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/building-a-tile-server-from-packages/">http://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/building-a-tile-server-from-packages/</a>
and would like to serve up a new set of tiles with larger font sizes
for higher resolution displays.<br>
<br>
I read
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/8467/font-size-and-adding-scale-to-map">https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/8467/font-size-and-adding-scale-to-map</a>
which describes the textsymbolizer element in osm.xml, to whit:<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<table style="width:100%;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width:30px;vertical-align:top">
<div class="vote-buttons"> <a id="post-8472-upvote"
title="This post is useful (click again to undo)"
class="ajax-command post-vote up "
href="https://help.openstreetmap.org/vote/8472/up/"
rel="nofollow"> </a>
<div id="post-8472-score" class="post-score"
title="current number of votes"> 3
</div>
<a id="post-8472-downvote" title="This post is not
useful (click again to undo)" class="ajax-command
post-vote down"
href="https://help.openstreetmap.org/vote/8472/down/"
rel="nofollow"> </a> </div>
</td>
<td>
<div class="item-right">
<div class="answer-body">
<p>The font size comes from the style file <em>osm.xml</em>.
This includes several lines on the form "<em><code><textsymbolizer
name="name" fontset_name="bold-fonts"
size="11"/></code></em>". You can edit the <em>size</em>
parameter in the wanted areas to generate a new
style with other font sizes.</p>
</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

But there's a TON of textsymbolizer's that would need to be edited.
Cloudmade's tile servers support an embedded doubler in their tile
URL as described at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://developers.cloudmade.com/projects/tiles/documents">http://developers.cloudmade.com/projects/tiles/documents</a><br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">To get double resolution tiles use <strong>@2x</strong>
suffix: 997@2x - this will improve map look for iPhone 4, Motorola
Milestone, etc.</blockquote>
<br>
Does anyone know how they do that? Is there a way to replace the
textsymbolizer element size attributes with a variable (say Size11,
Size8, SizeN) so that I can simply clone the style and edit all of
the sizes in a single place? Then I could do a 1.5, 2, 4, or
whatever by simply editing the sizes where the variables are
declared instead of every single textsymbolizer element.<br>
<br>
Any/all help would be appreciated to accomplish label font scaling
in the rendering chain with minimal manual editing work for each
scale that I support.<br>
