[Mapnik-users] Street Labeling at lower scales

[Rorie Overby]

Here are the screenshots. Mapnik_nostreetlabels is with my original 
streets, mapnik_linemergestreetnames is with the streets I merged the 
segments on. ESRI_streetlabels shows labels rendered from the same 
merged street segments using ESRI's arcinfo
