[Mapserver-users] rotated label

[Bjoern Platzen]

Hi,

I had the same problem with labels where the Angle came from the dbf. It 
seemed that the combination of gd-2.0.x and freetype2 made this... 
On another machine there was mapserver compiled with gd-1.8 and 
freetype-1.?. My labels looked right there.

I don't know if that helps...

Cheers,

Bjoern
