Tileserver-gl not showing street names for most of Africa

[BHudsonJSI]

A user complained that the our map server was not showing street names for Egypt (Cairo). When I looked further it turns out that the majority of Africa is missing street names. This was working in a previous release, see below.

Working:

• Map osm-2018-06-14-v3.8 (full world)
• Tileserver-gl 2.3.1

Not working:

• Map osm-2018-12-03-v3.9 (full world)
• Tileserver-gl 2.3.1, 2.4.0

The latest is also not working, even when using a small extract:

• osm-2019-12-16-v3.11-africa_egypt.mbtiles
• Tileserver-gl 2.3.1 and above (including 3.0)

I am assuming that the information is missing from the maptiles file, but the street names do exist on the openstreetmaps site.

Any help you could provide would be appreciated.

Also of note, I am using the docker container version under CentOS 7.7.1908. All other regions seem to be fine.

did anyone figure this thing out? I'm running into the same issue

usually labels missing is a font thing. What style/fonts are you using?

Thanks a lot! I actually missed some important fonts. It seems like the issue is still there though. When i use the 2017 vector tiles as raster format in leaflet (with maxZoom 22) i still miss some smaller street names when i zoom in, which i can see in other places do exist in the OSM file. They are shown properly in the 3d style though.

I'm facing the same issue, but on the data of Iran and Iraq. I'm using the example zip data provided by the tileserver-gl readme. When I replace the vectors with U.S., the map works, when I do it with the data of Iran and Iraq, no labels.
