Hi,
seems like nobody answered your question (or i missed it). Peter
Freimuth wrote a doc about cartographic stuff using MapServer, this
could probably help you. The original i slinked here, but its in German:
http://www.mapmedia.de/dokumente/umn_signaturen_howto/index.html 

It was translated and should have been added to docs, but i lost track
of where you can find it now. Before i repost the link to my mediocre
translation maybe someone (Jeff?) could point us to the link of the
final version.

Best, Arnulf.
