[OSM-talk] osmarender

[David Earl]

What are the best ways of dealing with the following?

- short Ways with names get truncated. How can the whole name be rendered?

- I have a number of streets with spidery layouts: a road branches several
times all with the same name; or even just the two branches of a turning
head at the end of a close. In this case the names often render in very
peculiar orders. Splitting into several Ways would end up with too short
Ways so suffer from the above.

- Some of my cycleways have names (they're effectively streets restricted to
cycles). I've changed the rendering locally to show these (white on the
default green line). I think this ought to be in the default version. Can I
do this myself, if so how?

- The property 'place=suburb' which is on the list of supported tags is not
rendered. I guess I can do the same as the above. Same as 'place=village'
but with smaller text I think. Can I release it?

- The Batik Squiggle SVG viewer claims the map.svg file is invalid:
"map.svg#triangle for a CSS property found on the element <path> is invalid"

- printing from IE7 changes the aspect ratio of the map. As far as I can
tell it seems to scale the portion visible in the browser to fit on the
paper in both directions ignoring aspect ratio. Presumably this is a bug in
the Adobe SVG applet, yes?
