[Mapserver-users] transparent layer creates blurry fonts

[Charlton Purvis]

Hey, Randy:

This was actually a post that I submitted a while back.  I think the
attachment caused it to hang.  Anyway, it's been registered as a GDAL
bug (Bugzilla Bug 366) w/ w/ Frank Warmerdam's help.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Charlton

Hi

Is the layer causing the problem raster or vector?
Whats your setup?

Include more information, and you will get a better
response.

Cheers
