[mapserver-users] About font sizes

[GMail]

Greetings!

The attached image is generated with the following:

LABEL
	PRIORITY	5
	ENCODING	"UTF-8"
	COLOR		32 32 32
	OUTLINECOLOR	255 255 255
	TYPE		TRUETYPE
	FONT		"arial"
	SIZE		7
	BUFFER		2
	POSITION	AUTO
	PARTIALS	FALSE
	MINFEATURESIZE	25
	WRAP		" "
	MAXLENGTH	8
	ALIGN		CENTER
END


The most obvious issue is the character "t" and "o", which are stuck 
together. Actually, the "Ria" part of the word are closer together, and the 
"l" seems a bit separated from parts.

I've checked that the AGG engine can render text with sub-pixel precision, 
and can render down to 6px font size clearly. Just curious, how mapserver 
does the text rendering?

I'm not sure which part of the above label object goes wrong. Any light?
