As mentioned in your other bugreport (#575061), it's probably best to
forward this issue to the GitHub issue tracker [0] for the renewed
Merkaartor development happening there.

This feature request hasn't been implemented in the 0.18.1 & 0.18.2
upstream releases yet. The current merkaartor in unstable (0.18.1-3)
even crashes with a double free when the 'Show names' option is enabled
with the node for Chiang Mai selected. The revision in experimental
(0.18.2-1~exp1) doesn't crash, but still displays only the name tag.

Kind Regards,

Bas
