[Mapserver-users] Upgraded 3.6 to 4.0 Windows binary and PIXMAP symbols, text-label colors no longer work correctly.

[Pericles S. Nacionales]

Do you happen to have antialiasing turned on for your labels?  Try turning 
them off temporarily and see if the colors are rendered right.  You might 
have to play around with the antialiasing and/or use "png24" to render your 
output images.

Sorry I can't help further as I'll be out of town and away from my computer 
until next week.
