[OSM-newbies] Text rendering ...

[Robert Helvie]

Hey Sages of OSM,

Have a look here ...
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=37.1091&lon=127.0778&zoom=12&layers=B000FTF

Notice how Osan is rendered (under Mapnik) directly behind the Korean text,
yet Songtan is rendered under the Korean text.

Other than the first is a city and the second a town, there appears to be no
difference in the tagging. Is this multi-line rendering on purpose? Why not
for larger cities too? Did I miss something in the Wiki? Is there some way
to make (force) long names to split onto two or more lines for rendering?
Will this be a option for future rendering? What will this weekend's lottery
numbers be? What is the answer to the ultimate question?

But seriously, multi-line rendering for text would be useful (IMHO),
especially here in Korea with the current state of tags using English text
which can get quite long.

Thanks for the input.

Jama rek,

Robert
