[Mapserver-users] Annotation

[Steve Lime]

Probably a bad combination of GD and Freetype. With GD 1.x you need
freetype 1 and with GD 2.x you definitely need the latest, greatest
version of GD and freetype 2. Mixing the two will lead some interesting
results.

Steve...I tried this out on my page and had some interesting results. 
The vertical labels, and let me see if I can describe this, are upside
down and rotated 180 degrees along the y-axis.  Any clues as to why this
would be happening?

Thanks,
-Jason

1) use truetype fonts
2) set ANGLE AUTO in your font object
3) set ANTIALIAS TRUE in your font object

Oh, and have good street data.

Hello all,

New to MapServer (and already having great results!) and we are trying
to
get our street centerlines to label properly. So far, all of the
labels
are
horizontal, even the ones for vertical (north-south) streets. What is
the
best way to get good looking labels?

Thanks in advance
