Is it possible that some settings in the OSM tile server have recently changed?
I have noticed (maybe over the last few months) that the labels are very small, similar to what Bruno is describing and I believe that I had previously not noticed this as a problem, which makes me wonder whether something has changed. Here is a helpful resource for exploring free xyz tile options from a variety of sources: https://leaflet-extras.github.io/leaflet-providers/preview/ On Tue, Aug 24, 2021 at 9:48 AM Greg Troxel <[email protected]> wrote: > > Bruno Streit <[email protected]> writes: > > > When I use OpenStreetMap standard xyz WMS layer in QGIS 3.16.8 or > > 3.20.1, create a layout and export it as PDF, the scale and especially > > the text is too small.
