<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Robert,</font></font></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font><p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3">Thanks for your quick reply and useful insight. Good Idea to use an extra space between the Hangeul and Roman characters to give the text a little extra buffer. I did mean to leave a space, but maybe two spaces are better. <span> </span>As far as the suffix translations go, I was just throwing that out there. I could care less about that. I would be happy to leave the name:en as is. I don’t want to make things more complicated than they have to be. That tag isn’t even rendered anyway.</font></font></p>
<font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font><p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">I’m most concerned with the generic name tag, since it makes the labels really hard to read on my GPS and hand phone, and if puts unnecessary characters on my paper maps. Plus I think it makes the slippy map a little cluttered too. Hopefully I can get some more feedback from others. I don’t want to rock the boat and start changing accepted conventions with just cause and peer support.</font></font></p>

</font><p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Thanks for your support. I checked out the link and when
they get it working that will be great. But it’s not really feasible for me to
implement. It would take a very powerful server with lots of bandwidth and disk
space to make that work with my project. However, as long as we tag our
features correctly, I’m sure whatever we do will compatible with their project.
I personally think it’s useful to have both the Hangeul and roman names
rendered together.</font></font></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">
</font><p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3">As far as the Multilingual Map Project, I have a good idea
how they did it. I’m guessing that first they rendered their own tiles without
labels, and then they are overlaying them with vector labels from a separate database.
Currently when you look at OSM and other web maps such as Google and Naver,
what you are seeing is a collection of georeferenced <span style> </span>.png images. The technology works great, but
you can’t change the variables once they’re rendered. In a few years I’m sure
the technology will be available to effectively deliver the same data in vector
format allowing users to customize the rendered images to their own liking. But
that’s going to require some pretty powerful servers and lots of bandwidth to
work.</font></font></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">
