Unable to display Street Labels from Mapinfo TAB file {Scanned} {Scanned}

[Siki Zoltan]

Hi,

As far as see your mapinfo layer contains street center lines and
street names as attributes. This case the staleitem auto doesn't work.
Instead you should give more detailed class definition:

CLASS
        LABEL
                TYPE TRUTYPE
                FONT ...
                ANGLE AUTO
                SIZE ...
                COLOR ...
        END
END

ANGLE AUTO will rotate the labels along the street line.
