suppose you have designed a great map in photoshop. how you go about the xml file? is there a sample xml file that one can look at?
But dont worry about XML just yet, if you do have a map as a PSD.
right, you'll need to convert it to a JPG (or JPEG) first

No, what i was saying is don't worry about XML now - if you have the draft.

1. SMALL MAP: WIDTH up to 630 px; HEIGHT 600 px
2. LARGE MAP: WIDTH up to 840 px ; HEIGHT 800 px.
3. SIZE DIFFERENTIAL: A large map must be noticably larger than their small map; 9% larger is required but 33.3% (1/3rd) is recommended.
4. NOTE: Mapmakers are encouraged to make their large maps smaller than the maximum size limits when possible to eliminate scrolling to attack/read the sidebar info.

Adding font to GIMP 2.X (X being any number)
OK i found this on the internet, and here is the original link: http://raygunrobot.com/archives/The-eas ... -with-GIMP
But unless u dont want to scroll through what that guy has to say, im gonna put it in short:
First, know where your fonts that are used in places like Word are
Bring up GIMP
Go under File: Preferences
Scroll down all the way to the one that says Folders, and click the little triangle next to it
Now scroll down to Fonts
Once thats chosen, click the little image that looks like a page with a corner bent
Now it will have a little area for u to right where u want it to get some more fonts from, click the Folder button
Now a window will come up, now work go through your files to your folder were your fonts are kept throughout your computer
Hit ok
Then hit the ok in the bottom right corner
Restart GIMP
There ya have it! no more trouble with getting fonts that you really want in to GIMP!

Text layers are vector-based, so you can stretch, distort, or change them any way you like without creating pixellation. Likely the files you imported from GIMP don't have that vector-based layering, so Photoshop treats them like they are standard rasterized (pixel-based) layers.
