Looks great to me. Andy will probably want to wait a day to see if anyone has anything else to say, but hopefully he'll stop by soon and tell us what he needs.

This is a return to the old font of Stencil is ued for the legend before, as I looked at the Eras font in V36 above and wasn't satisfied with it.

V37 Small

V37 Large

I prefer the 35 font, but this one is satisfactory too.

Thanks edbeard....this stencil font was developed specifically for war stencilling...that's why i though it was appropriate. v35 was the Atlantic line font.

Can Tennessee's army circle be moved to the lower right side of the ship...closer to the Tennessee text? It's just confusing because the circle is on land yet all the other ship's circles are on water. Just think it could be tweaked a little better. As it is I can see people getting Maryland's circle confused with Tennessee since the Tennessee text is so close to Maryland's circle and Tennessee's circle being so far away from the actual text over the land. Other than that it looks great.

The Tennessee circle is in the same position as the circle for the other 2 ships in its line. It is much less confusing where it is. You knew it was the Tennessee circle.

Ok. What about moving Tennessee above the circle and moving FIN AA text above its circle? Maybe even move Arizona text up. I'm just not a fan of having the text so far away from the circles. I just noticed St. Louis as well near the bottom. That text should be to the right of the circle under San Francisco imo.

I also like V35 font...V36 just didn't agree with me eyes.

Casper, thanks for posting.
I'll see what i can do about moving names (not circles) for FIN AA aetc about. However, St Louis is staying in its position otherwise that area of the map becomes too cluttered to the right , and leaves this great gap over the dock area.

To others...
Changing the legend font was a two fold issue, Keyogi had probs with the original, and the map was oversized, so i changed it to the ERAS font on V36, but found i didn't like this. The map is now two versions.
To change the legend font means changing it for all those items on both maps, which I have just done twice already, and is over two hours work. Unless there is absolutely a very necessary reasons to change this font i.e. someone can't read it, then I would prefer to leave it as it is. Please consider this b4 asking me to change it again. Thanks.

I don't think changing the font is that necessary. The current version is clear, easy to read, but still has some character. Keep it.

Mind posting the text links for the large and small maps, along with the XML?

There's a few coordinates on the large that look a bit out... Dewey and Dobin are the ones I can notice. Small looks good though.

I still don't think the legend does the map justice, but I'm alone on this one so I'll shut up.

Fixed in the image V38 Large above Keyogi...please refresh your browser.
The xml did not need to be changed.

Arrows from oklahoma to K6 looks strange.

Wisse · Post by **Wisse** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 1:40 am

if you look to the boneses naval yard has a thick outliner, why?
other than that i don't see anything that can be improved

Does this solution look better or worse...it needs tidying up but you get the general idea.
