<div>Unfortunately, 1 pixel padding doesn't look too good in my case, see this example image <a href="https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B6vp23tQ3ixPM2Y1Y2VhZTEtZDQ2MC00ODVkLWFiNzEtMzM3Y2FiZDY0OGQz&hl=en_US&authkey=CJ_72NMH" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204); ">https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B6vp23tQ3ixPM2Y1Y2VhZTEtZDQ2MC00ODVkLWFiNzEtMzM3Y2FiZDY0OGQz&hl=en_US&authkey=CJ_72NMH</a></div>

<div>Are there any plans to further improve label styling in future mapserver releases in a way that would solve issues like this? </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Dirk</div></span>
