As an aside, if the discussion (which is now at
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/120 ) doesn't
work out, it may also be possible to create your own map tiles based on
a style that you create. If you want to create the same sort of map
tiles that you can see at OpenStreetMap.org you can follow instructions
at https://switch2osm.org/manually-building-a-tile-server-16-04-2-lts/
. There are other options too (see
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Rendering for some of those). If
you're trying to follow instructions such as those and get stuck you
could try asking on IRC (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/IRC ) -
the #osm and #osm-dev channels are English-language ones, but there will
be people available to help there, and there's also #osm-fr in French
where I'm sure people will be able to help too.
Best Regards,
Andy
