I now need to get out with the camera and try taking
some photos of the various station signs.


If you're trying to make a composite image of a tube sign that
says "TOSSER", you need to consider the size and spacing. For best
results, find a combination of 6-letter station names which
contain TOSER between them.


I'd been thinking about that. I thought I'd definitely need to get one
station with all the necessary letters because colour, size and
lettering would vary slightly between stations. I'd assumed though that
once I'd gone to such a station I could play around with resizing the
letters and the finished word to make it fit the sign. Would other
factors prevent this from being effective? I might have a bit of
trouble with getting a nice looking match between the resolution of the
original photo and the resized lettering but if the difference isn't
too great or I resize the finished picture (lowering the resolution) I
thought this wouldn't be too much of a problem.
