Today's CVS, labels that follow street segments and antialias lines

[Paul Spencer]

oh yes, you need PNG24.  Frank added a processing option(?) to allow  
dithering of PNG24 to PNG8 which works quite nicely AFAIK (but I  
haven't tried it yet, its on my todo list, I did it with PHP gd so I  
assume it looks the same)

Cheers

Paul
