Legend Labels offset down.

Thanks Steve, The offset parameter did the trick.

I see what you mean by consistancy, the same font behaves fine on my

It could be problems in the way GD is interpreting font metrics or problems with the font file itself (they are not all created equal). Could even be a MapServer bug but if so I would expect a more consistent problem. Anywho there is an easy workaround. Use the LABEL OFFSET parameter to nudge them up a bit (e.g. OFFSET 0 -2).
