Is the text anti-aliased?How do I use text in WorldA maps? Whenever I try to scale text down to fit, it gets super pixelized. Using GIMP btw.

Yea, turned it off and still pixeled when I try to scale it down.Is the text anti-aliased?
Are there options for scaling? or did you try making the text small to begin with?Yea, turned it off and still pixeled when I try to scale it down.
I tried to scale it down for its original size. I tried messing with the scaling options but no luck.Are there options for scaling? or did you try making the text small to begin with?
Might be wise to change your font size, then. Try using the usual font?I tried to scale it down for its original size. I tried messing with the scaling options but no luck.

The first version is better.
The second version is rather uncommon today.
Here is a tutorial from Crazy Boris, and his THICC 2.2 color scheme (one of the best color schemes used today)

You could try using edge in GIMP maybeAnyone have good suggestions for a simple tracing program? Looking to convert some maps that are in JPG or otherwise un-fillable.
Seems to me like the boxes are done only when it‘s not readily apparent who the owner is. For example, the two islands off the Mosquito Coast are clearly owned by Nicaragua due to proximity, but without the box around the further islands, you’d assume they were also owned thereby, instead of by Colombia.In particular how do people decide what islands to give a box and what ones not to? Like look at the inconsistencies here

Where are the guidelines for map making?

Also I'm looking for a colour scheme that doesn't change colours based on whatever political party is in power (something I think is not useful 99% of the time)
Colours should only represent the historical predecessors of a country and maybe the region that is the primary source of power for annexations/unions.
Please, I really need help with this. I feel like it should be a stupidly simple fixINKSCAPE HELP!
Starting some time earlier today, Inkscape is refusing to let me curve paths by using the edit nodes tool. I can still curve the paths on lines I've already made, but not on any new one. I'm guessing I must have changed some obscure setting somewhere, but I have no notion where.
Please help, this is really irritating
I usually change the text size in paint.net or inkscape. I'm sure GIMP allows something similar. If this results in the text becoming to small in order to fit, then I'll usually increase the size of the image itself so that image is four times larger.How do I use text in WorldA maps?
