[Mapserver-users] rotated label

[Siki Zoltan]

Hi,

I get into trouble with rotated labels, I tried 3.6.5 3.6.6 4.0
with freetype 2.1.4.

layer definition from the map file:
LAYER
    NAME "streat_names"
    DATA xshp/unev1
    STATUS ON
    GROUP "annotation"
    TYPE LINE
    LABELITEM "NAME"
    LABELMAXSCALE 5000
    CLASS
        COLOR -1 -1 -1
        LABEL
            COLOR 200 0 200
            ANGLE AUTO
            SIZE 12
            FONT timb
            TYPE TRUETYPE
        END
    END
END

There is a line in fonts.lst file:
timb /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType/timb____.ttf

I get text where letters are not rotated but the position is
changed for each characters e.g. a text at 45 degree

s          or           e
 a                     l
  m                   p
   p                 m
    l               a
     e             s

Any idea?

Tankx
