He's doing a special thematic map and his client insists that there are certain rules he has to follow, though he thinks that some changes are allowed in favor of readability. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Roland __________________ Roland W. Hardt Quimera Editores - Mexico's leading Travel Map and Guide Publisher http://www.quimeramx.com
