<p class=MsoNormal>Question re the new labelling engine. It works well on the
map canvas, but rendering in print composer has a number of problems:<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span><![endif]>Label placement is too low. For example, with line
layers, if &#8216;above line&#8217; is selected, the label appears almost over
the line, and if &#8216;below line&#8217; is selected, the label appears well
below the line. With &nbsp;point layers where &#8216;around point&#8217; is
selected, then if the label is displayed below the point it is so far below
that it can appear to be associated with another point when points are tightly
clustered.<o:p></o:p></p>

separations.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>These may be known problems, or is it specific to particular
