<font size="3" face="Comic Sans MS">I did manage to cheat at this a while back by using some collar images around the main image to display the label in. I just stitched it altogether in a table. takes more calls to the server though. But it did work. I also payed around with applying these collar images as an overlay, IE stacking them on top of the main map to pretty good effect.</font> </p>

<font size="3" face="Comic Sans MS">Basiucally you make as narrow an image as possible that still displays the labels and stick that out at the edge. It is somewhat painful to build the offect image BBOX logic, but it got me there.</font> </p>
