[mapserver-users] line layer label angle changes

[Igor Marinovic]

Hi, 

I had similar problems with PHP MapScript. Actually, the labels were not 
rotated randomly around label point. Every letter was rotated once again for 
LABELANGLEITEM. I tried several version of freetype, downgrade the 
freetype without success. 

The solution is compiling the PHP without ttf support. Actually, this
is mentioned in the PHP MapScript FAQ :)

Hope that this will help to someone.

Thanks, 

Igor
