I got as far as getting it running (it needs System.Window.Forms; on Ubuntu, run sudo apt-get install libmono-winforms* ) and managed, through typing "zoom-out" and "zoom-in" about 50 times each, to get to the right area of the map, and downloaded the OSM data. But, not wanting to knock the hard work of you or others, even before I looked at making style changes, it seemed fairly clear that the text rendering wasn't nearly as nice as Mapnik's. I'm developing a whole new appreciation of how hard it is to write a map renderer which produces beautiful maps! > You might also like to have a look at Maposmatic > http://www.maposmatic.org/ as it has SVG export. That seems just to produce SVG of the default Mapnik style, which I can already get from http://www.openstreetmap.org/.
