One tip:
never use JPEG format for a map like this, it munges all the straight
lines and edges (and text)
with compression artefacts.
Use a lossless compression format such as PNG.
Oh, I always do! But since the non-lossy PNG is >2Mb, and the maps in the PA
releases are in JPG format anyway, I thought this would give a reasonable
approximation of what it will look like when released.
I've made a start on replacing the labels and this seems to be making a real
difference. Unfortunately, I don't have the exact font, so I'm using Arial as an
approximation. It still looks very good, and you'd have to look hard (or be a
bit of a nerd like me) to spot the differences in the font-face. I'll put an
example of this up later on today.
