Only on the wide-format shields. On the narrower ones used for two-digit numbers, the name runs right to the edge. > If the FHWA fonts don't work out, you could always resort to a bitmap > font. That's a longer-term possibility. I'd like the shields to look good when scaled to any size, which is why the templates are all SVGs that get turned into PNGs only at the last possible moment. Bitmap fonts tend to look good at exactly one resolution, so I'd have to figure out a good way to dynamically choose the font characteristics based on the target rendering size. -- ...computer contrarian of the first order... / http://aperiodic.net/phil/ PGP: 026A27F2 print: D200 5BDB FC4B B24A 9248 9F7A 4322 2D22 026A 27F2 --- -- #define BITCOUNT(x) (((BX_(x) + (BX_(x) >> 4)) & 0x0f0f0f0f) % 255) #define BX_(x) ((x) - (((x) >> 1) & 0x77777777) \ - (((x) >> 2) & 0x33333333) \ - (((x) >> 3) & 0x11111111)) /* Counts the number of bits in a word. */ ---- --- -- _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
