> Dear all,
>
> We are currently working on changes in the rendering of landcover
> labels in openstreetmap-carto, the rendering that is used for the
> default map on www.openstreetmap.org.
>
> Before we roll out these changes, we would like to ask you for your
> feedback.
>
> A demo which allows you to compare the old and new rendering can be
> found here: http://tile.paulnorman.ca/demo/landcover-labels.html. We
> currently only have some areas in Northern America loaded on the demo
> server.
>
> Changes to the rendering include:
> - All rendered landcover tags now have their name rendered.
> - The minimum zoom level of labels is now defined based on the
> rendered size of the area
> - Font size now also depends on the rendered size
> - Landuse labels are now rendered oblique, to easier visually tell
> them apart from village and POI labels.
> - All labels are rendered in a colour similar to the landuse they belong
> to.
>
> More details can be found on Github:
> https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/941.
>
> We look forward to hear your opinion on the changes. Feel free to give
> your comments either as a reply to this message, or on the Github
> issue.
