It was me who said that, actually. Here are a few comments, mostly in relation to the Mapnik style: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.40961&lon=0.01101&zoom=16&layers=0B00FTF * Bus stop icons are big and ugly * In fact, many icons have too few colours * Lots of text rendering has letters overlapping themselves * Text in different categories overlaps (e.g. road names/train station names/POI names) * Font is probably 1-2 px too big to fit nicely in the roads * Road names overlap one way arrows * Road ends are square * Choice of POIs to render seems not as good as Mapnik Example of lots of overlapping text: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.40711&lon=0.01398&zoom=17&layers=0B00FTF Hope that's a useful start... My suspicion is that some of this stuff, like text rendering, cannot be fully fixed with the technology choices inherent in the way OSMARender works. But I'd love to be proved wrong.
