I always wondered how those handmade printed maps manage to place a
country name, a region name, plus the name of a national park all
"over" each other, interleaved, with giant letter spacing so that you
normally only see and discard individual letters, and only if you make
an explicit effort does the whole term come into view... but maybe
that's really something to be left for the manual finish ;-)

Or while undergoing dental surgery.

Bye
