I am rendering OSM XML tiles using Mapnik, but when I increase my font size for road names, some roads appear to show text twice in a row.

Here is an image of what I mean:

street names

Note the unwanted repetition of:

  • Stirling Street
  • Atkins Street (on the right)

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Not sure, but I think you need "text-spacing"(Distance between repeated text labels on a line (aka. label-spacing)).

In case you are working directly with Mapnik XML to style your layers, the property you are looking for is repeat-distance in your TextSymbolizer. This property is defined as (in pixels):

Minimum distance between repeated labels such as street names or shield symbols (works across features)

See reference here: https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/wiki/TextSymbolizer
