[Qgis-user] Displaying Text from OS Mastermap

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Steve,
 Just a guess, but I'd imagine its the multilineStrings.

The loader I use (an FME workbench) converts the text into a line, one
correctly oriented and anchored for each point that was in the original
dataset.
As you can see from my styles and the screenshot -
http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/OS_Styles - QGIS didn't have an issue
with this.
Someone with better knowledge of QGIS labelling may be able to advise, but
the other aspect is to try and load your data so its only a regular line.

Jonathan
