Ignore this one, i figured it out... I just wasn't using truetype fonts.   REalized it moments after asking the question...

Sorry about that!

  I have seen mapserver maps with street names angled to follow the streets...  how do you set the angle of the text?   I've tried adding  "ANGLE  AUTO" to the label section of my mapfile, but I don't know what to use for "ANGLELABELITEM"... i've never seen a shapefile of any kind that had an attribute showing its angle... is there some way to calculate this from the shapefile data?

  Thanks again,
  Jeff
