[mapserver-users] Differnet Quality Output of Text labels

[Christian Fuerpasz]

Hi!

Thank you for your answer, but the problem is, that i use the same application on 2 different server and get different results. The screenshot is only from the demo to make it more easy to compear the 2 versions. One thing, i didnt mention before was,
that the Version of Mapserver 3.4 on the first server is from februar this year and the second version is from last month. Can this be the difference?

By the way, i use on both servers antialiasing.
Hope this helps somehow....

Christian
