Hello,

How can i style my font-size from the mapnik(OpenLayers) the easiest way?
My wishes: To scale the font-size from the citys:

This i tried: (the idea is from here: http://openweathermap.org/tutorial/openlayers))

<html>
<head>
<title>Hello</title>
<script src="http://openlayers.org/api/OpenLayers.js"></script>
<script src="http://openweathermap.org/js/OWM.OpenLayers.1.3.4.js"></script>
</head>

<body onLoad="init()">
<div id="basicMap"> </div>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
    function init(){
      var map = new OpenLayers.Map("basicMap");

      var styleMap = new OpenLayers.Style({
          fontSize: "30px",
          }
      );
          var mapnik = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM("mapni", {StyleMap: "styleMap"});
    //var mapnik = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM("mapni");

      map.addLayers([mapnik]);

          map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(500000, 6300000), 10);
    }
</script>
</html>

I found this (http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Style-js.html), but i don’t understand it :frowning:

I hope that somebody can help me :confused:

I think you cannot style the mapnik layer. This layer is an image that comes from another server where everything is already rendered. In case you want a different style, you need to set up your own tile server with your style.

The page you are referring to is to style an additional text layer.
