Re: [OSM-dev] Pre-rendered OpenStreetMap Carto tiles

[Anish Mangal]

Hi,

I am one of the volunteers of the Internet-in-a-Box project (http://iiab.io).
I remember discussing with you about two years ago on IRC on how to render
tiles for offline usage and your guidance was very helpful. Since then, I
went on rendering OSM-Bright tiles for various zoom levels also
incorporating srtm data as contours+hillshade. At the time, those were
raster tiles.

Is your new tileset raster or vector? I intend to go about making a base
OSM tileset in vector, + high zoom regional vector tilesets. Also intend to
render srtm data as contour+hillshade. I was looking at openmaptiles for
the same.

I thought I'd reply to this email if there is a common goal here, or
whether you have any thoughts on the plans outlined above. The current OSM
vector tiles (low zoom) made available on the Internet-in-a-Box may be seen
here - http://iiab.me/modules/en-worldmap-10/map.html

Looking forward to your reply.

Re: [OSM-dev] Indic fonts on OSM tiles

Took a bit of effort to compile both mapnik3 and mod_tile from source, but
that fixed it!

Thanks a bunch :)

[OSM-dev] Indic fonts on OSM tiles

[Anish Mangal]

Hi,

I was trying to generate map tiles in Hindi language and I noticed that the
rendering of names of a few places is off, perhaps due to the font chosen.

I tried with two fonts:
'gargi', which is the manilk default (i think) for devanagari
'lohit', another font which is freely available and widely used.

In both cases, the rendering was off.

Correct rendering (example): http://picpaste.com/delhi_good-gDYODgsB.png
Incorrect rendering (example):
http://picpaste.com/new_delhi_bad-NM9l7Dg2.png

The name of the place in the above pictures: (New) Delhi

Any pointers on how to fix this?

Cheers,
Anish
