[Tilesathome] Bezier Curve Hinting broken

[Dodi]

Area handling in modified version of osmarender.xsl:
<path id="area_9999" ... > is genereated into <defs> section of SVG for 
every "way"
(dirty assumption that every way may be interperted as area)

in standard osmarender.xsl area path is generated just before <use > element 
... so 1 area is shown 2 times in SVG

if SVG is not "cleaned up" (remove all unused/unreferenced <path> element) - 
my approach breaks duplicate node detection in lines2curves.pl  ( 
http://svn.moonbase.sk/FreemapSlovakiaDiSK/waycleanup.pl is a postprocessing 
miniscript to remove unreferenced <path> elements from SVG...  ) - ok it is 
not a total solution (see bellow) but the result is a smaller SVG file

...ok ...for now I reverted this back in modified osmarender.xsl ( 
http://www.freemap.sk/osmarender6.zip )... areas are handled like in 
standard osmarender.xsl

...but this problem with "duplicate nodes not curvified by lines2curves.pl" 
still there because osmarender creates <path id="way_normal_9999" ... > for 
every way but for ways  like A<--B<--C .... creates also <path 
id="way_reverse_9999" ... > which has same point but in reverse order... 
this reverse_path is refereced by <textPath > to display streetnames in 
corrent order...
unfortunately cleanup is not a sulution for this :S

conclusion: problem is in lines2curves.pl  with duplicate node detection

feasible solution: aditional check for differently named bud identincal or 
reverse paths in lines2curves.pl  ..is there someone who can and want to do 
it ? (I want but cannot :S)
