More info...it turns out to have nothing to do with the slashes.  The text is 
not being rendered because it overlaps the edge of the tile.  Is there any way 
to force partial rendering up to the tile edge?

Subject: [Mapnik-users] Slashes in TextSymbolizer Text?


I'm using a TextSymbolizer to add labels to the icons I'm rendering with 
PointSymbolizer.

Each point in my shapefile has an attribute ("ID") and the TextSymbolizer is 
configured to render this field.

Most of the points have IDs of the format "XYZ", and these are rendered 
correctly.  However, a minority of points have IDs of the format "ABC/XYZ", and 
for these, the text isn't rendered (the icon image is rendered alone).

Are forward slashes not allowed in shapefile field values that are to be 
rendered as text labels?
