Weird is a pretty broad description - when I export from OSM to pdf or
postscript, I do get some minor broken bits, but it's not dramatic - a
little work in illustrator would sort it out. Then again, if you're
talking about a very large area, I guess lots of little problems =
lots of work.

Have you tried the excellent http://maposmatic.org/ ? I just rendered
this map of Århus http://maposmatic.org/jobs/11282 and I think it
looks pretty damn cool! ;-)
