Hi,

I am trying to display a mapinfo layer that has text. The layer is a =
pair of  MIF/MID files.  I have had other layers like this setup fine, =
but this specific layer is giving me trouble.   The mif file looks like =
this

Version 300
Charset "WindowsLatin1"
Delimiter ","
 CoordSys Earth Projection 1, 104
Columns 1
  blank Char(1)

    "  AL AWIR ROAD"

The mid file normally contains the text.  When I try and display a layer =
where the mid file has the text, I can setup the layer ok, but where all =
the text is in the mif file as shown above, I am unshure how to =
represent the layer.   Can anyone help ??

Here is another layer from a mapserver map file, the text for this layer =
displays fine, but when I use this method for the mif file above, I get =
nothing.  Can anyone help ???

LAYER
   NAME "Minor_Roads_text"
   TYPE ANNOTATION
   CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
   CONNECTION "C:\wcmap\Nairobi shps\Minor_Roads.tab"
   STATUS DEFAULT
   LABELITEM "Road3"
   CLASS
      COLOR 0 0 0
      LABEL
         SIZE 8
         TYPE TRUETYPE
#  TYPE BITMAP
#  SIZE small
         COLOR 0 0 0
         SHADOWCOLOR 255 255 230
         SHADOWSIZE 1 1
         FONT arial
         ANTIALIAS TRUE
         ANGLE AUTO
         POSITION CC
         BUFFER 10
         MINDISTANCE 20
      END
   END
END

Thanks,

James.
