I find reading decorative fonts difficult when small, @Ralf but I'll experiment with slightly decorative fonts today and post the results.

The finished map

I've <stage whisper> found a workaround, if a frustrating one </whisper>. Problem is that I don't know when it is going to work and when it isn't!

Map is very close to completion, only 1.5 islands to go!

OP = “opening post” @Quenten  :)

This is a work in progress. I will change the colour of the islands - but it has a number that is easy to remember (8). What else do you suggest?
