OSM font size
« on: July 20, 2012, 06:47:46 PM »
Is there a way to adjust the font size on OSM labels? At most zoom settings they are too small for me to read. I got on wiki OSM and found them much more readable. I'm on Pro, 4.60. Thanks.

Sorry, there isn't a way to adjust the size directly.

You can, however, experiment with the "Tileset preference" setting in Options->Preferences->Tilesets.  It changes when the software switches to new zoom levels.  If you choose a setting closer to the right (expand lower) you'll get to see the lower tilesets for longer which should result in larger font sizes.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Scott, that helps, but the image still isn't nearly as crisp as I get from OpenCycleMap.org. FWIW, I'm near Vienna (Wien) if that makes any difference. Is there a way to improve that?

Part of the loss of clarity is due to the way the map is projected.  This relates to another current post here on the board.  I plan to change the projection to better display OSM (and other) maps in TF in a future version.
