Re: [Talk-ko] South Korea rendering problems

I posted on github with what the problem entails and just a POSSIBLE idea
of something we could do.

[Talk-ko] South Korea rendering problems

[Andrew Errington]

I am travelling and I don't have access to the admin interface at the
moment, so I am re-posting this message.  Probably it should be discussed
on the github issue page because the original poster is not subscribed to
this list.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hello,

I'm one of the people from osm-carto team (default map on OSM website) and
somebody has just reported a problem with placename labels, which seems to
be a problem with tagging:

https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/2275

How do you think it could be fixed?
