<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been using the map file from <A
href="http://boston.freemap.in/basemap.map">http://boston.freemap.in/basemap.map</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to setup a mapserver 5.0 WMS and using Openlayers
as the interface.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The results has been good except the edges of the
road doesn't seem to be sharp when compared with google or some samples i seen
from Mapnik.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I use AGG as the output.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Have tinker with the antialias, width of the line,
etc without much luck</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
