[Mapserver-users] Labels get unreadable over background-color and -image

[Michael Schulz]

Hi Stefan,
i would assume this is an effect of the anti-aliasing of the truetype
font labels. Your map image is transparent but only for a certain color
index, around the labels are these anti-alias halos that don't have the
transparent index value since their color index is in a range between
your label color and (?)white.
Just a guess.
Cheers, Michael
