Hi,

I am attempting to display some text at specified angles using
labelangleitem, but no text plots. Without the font and type 
specifications, text is plotted, but at zero degrees. Here is the 
relevant data:

> MAP
>         NAME "Area of Interest"
>         STATUS ON         
           SIZE 1800 1260
>         IMAGETYPE png
>         extent 1140000 -140000 1930000 940000
>         CONFIG PROJ_LIB /home/djisgitt/proj-4.4.9/nad
>         fontset /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/gdsmap/font.list
>         UNITS kilometers
>         PROJECTION
>         "init=epsg:32039"
>         END

>         END

>               outlinecolor 0 255 255
>               label
>                 font cetus

>                 antialias true
>                 color 219 149 8
>                 partials off
>               end
>             end
>           end


Other layers of type polygon and line fail similarly.

Any help explaining what I am doing wrong will be much appreciated.
