Weird TrueType labeling issue.

[Stephen Lime]

This is a GD version mismatch problem. GD 1.3 and higher use a row major (i.e. pixel[y][x]) scheme for storing the images. There is code to handle this if the appropriate preprocessor variables are set. Did you edit Makefiles in both ms_3.3.008 and ms_3.3.00/gdft? Could also be extraneous versions of GD installed on your machine.

I'm working on street labeling (Auto Position, Auto Angle, etc.) and ran
into a weird TrueType labeling issue.

When I switch from bitmap to TrueType in 3.3.008 it looks like the label
overlay is rotated 90 degrees and mirrored.

Any thoughts?
