Configuration

You need to run ./configure.py first to configure osmt/osmt.mml with your PostgreSQL connection parameters. Run ./configure.py --help for syntax.

After this you can compile the style sheet to a Mapnik2 XML style sheet using carto osmt/osmt.mml > osmt.xml

You will also need to have some OSM data loaded into PostgreSQL using osm2pgsql with the --hstore option. A recent default.style shipped with osm2pgsql should be sufficient.

Symbols

The contents of the symbols directory are referenced as /usr/share/icons/osmt/ in the style sheet.

The SJJB Map Icons referenced can be installed onto the system using the Debian package from http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-osm/sjjb-map-icons.git or extracting the PNG package from http://www.sjjb.co.uk/mapicons/downloads into same system location.

Fonts

I encountered problems with fonts when using TileLite, TileCache and TileStache.

This is probably because the Debain build of Mapnik uses a font path of /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu. You can run mapnik-config --fonts to check the current path. I found setting this to /usr/share/fonts/truetype worked, either by changing this at Mapnik build time or by editing /usr/share/pyshared/mapnik2/paths.py.
