The first thing you must do is enable Truetype Fonts.  This might require a
recompile or different binary depending on what binary you are using.

Then you must create a fontset.  Read here:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/fontset.html
If you are on Windows, you can use the fontset.txt I've attached with the
fonts from C:\WINNT\Fonts to save you some time.  It took entirely too long
to write it the first time, and I hate the idea that other people are having
to do it too.

After that, it's a simple matter of adding this to your LABEL object:
      ANGLE auto
      TYPE TRUETYPE
      FONT arial

I have a project where I am trying to get the roadnames to follow the road
(in 
other words be rotated in the same direction as the road).  Is such a thing 
possible.  Here is the relevant section of my .map file

LAYER
  NAME medcocel
  TYPE LINE
  STATUS DEFAULT
  DATA medcocel
  GROUP roads
  CLASS
    NAME "Medina County Centerlines"
    TEMPLATE "medcocel.html"
    COLOR 208 159 145
  END

  HEADER "medcocel_header.html"
  FOOTER "medcocel_footer.html"

  TOLERANCE 5

  DUMP TRUE # allow GML export

  METADATA
    WMS_TITLE "Centerlines"
    WMS_ABSTRACT "Medina County Centerlines"
    WMS_SRS "EPSG:26915"
  END
END # medcocel

LAYER
  NAME medcocel_anno
  GROUP roads
  MAXSCALE 300000
  STATUS DEFAULT
  DATA medcocel
  TYPE ANNOTATION
  LABELITEM "ROADNAME"
  CLASS
    COLOR 255 255 255
    LABEL
      POSITION cc
      WRAP " "
      SIZE MEDIUM
      COLOR 0 0 0
    END
  END

  METADATA
    WMS_TITLE "County Roads"
    WMS_ABSTRACT "County roads. (shields only)  Derived from MNDOT roads 
layer, see http://deli.dnr.state.mn.us/metadata/full/dotrdln2.html for more 
information."
    WMS_SRS "EPSG:26915"
  END
END # county road annotation
