Clinched Routes Highway Shields

[cockroachking]

All the shields came through good. However the new font is not working properly, nor is Clearview for the Philippines shields I added yesterday. Glad I checked on a device that does not already have those fonts installed locally. Apparently more has to be done than simply uploading a TTF file to GitHub. Currently researching/working on a fix for these issues.

ETA: This should fix LLM. I will make a new pull request for Clearview if this works.

By the way we now have a SVG version of one of the NYC parkway shields with the graphic included:
https://wiki.aaroads.com/wiki/File:Grand_Central_Parkway_Shield.svg

The copyright status of the parkway-specific graphics is apparently not publicly known, and because it might be copyrighted it can't go on Wikimedia Commons... but AARoads Wiki has no qualms using it and neither should we on account of previously stated fair use rationale, which should reasonably apply to _any_ highway shield including a copyrighted or trademarked component.

Thanks! I'll have that added in the next batch.

I put a completely clean copy of the latest shields and fonts on tmstage.teresco.org .  If everything looks good there, I can do the same on the production server.

Everything except the Malaysian shields are working fine, and I think I have another fix for that (need to add ' to the font name in the shields).

These are on tmstage now.

The latest is now up on the main site.  I gave it the same treatment tmstage had - get rid of all old files to make sure there was nothing straggling and reinstalled all fonts and shield templates and code.

The Kentucky Parkway signs and 3 new Canadian freeway signs look great! But something happened to the fonts for numbers on other signs, at least for North American routes.

Looks like I should have waited for some more confirmation that things looked good on tmstage.  I think it's possible something was there on the production server that isn't properly in GitHub.

[Jim]

I think we're good now.  Fixed the server update script to transfer all of the fonts files now.  Sorry about that.

Looks like LLM Narrow is finally working! I'll have a fix for the Clearview fonts in the pull tonight.

Good news for India is that every state uses the same shield for the state highways (roughly a vertically elongated US highway shield with a green crown). Bad news is, I remember West Bengal's being State Named shields, but I can't confirm that.
Let me know if I should dig up the NH and SH shields. I'm not sure what the NE shields look like as I haven't seen them in the field yet.

There was a bad line in the latest update to shieldgen.php.  Fixed in https://github.com/TravelMapping/Web/commit/1e154f78821510508e96b2f2913ab6b949cf5216 and now on tmstage for testing.
