Bug in Mapserver-4.8.3

[Doyon, Jean-Francois]

Did you compile a new version of freetype for use with 4.8.3, or are both
versions linking agianst the exact same binary of the freetype library?

Hi All,

i'm not sure if i had found a bug. We use a application with mapserver and a
lot of labeling of streets, citys and so on.

I think the labeldrawing in mapserver 4.8.3 is not correct, i have attached
2 pictures where you can see the difference on the cities Braunschweig and
Wolfsburg.

here the mapfile with the layer definition of cities.

LAYER
  NAME staedte
  TYPE POINT
  STATUS DEFAULT
  MINSCALE 200000
  DATA std500_gk3
  LABELITEM "STADT_NAME"
  LABELCACHE on
  Postlabelcache false

  CLASSITEM 'STADT_BEV'
  CLASS
        expression /1/
        NAME 'Städte > 1000000'
        COLOR 0 0 0

        LABEL

                PARTIALS true
        END
  END
  CLASS
        expression /3/
        MAXSCALE 750000
        name 'Städte > 250000'
        color 0 0 0
        symbol 'full_circle'

        label
                POSITION LC

                FONT arial
                COLOR 0 0 0
                SIZE 9
                ANTIALIAS TRUE
                OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
                PARTIALS true
        end
  END
  CLASS
        expression /5/
        MAXSCALE 500000
        name 'Städte > 25000'
        color 0 0 0
        symbol 'full_circle'
        size 6
        label
                POSITION LC
                TYPE TRUETYPE
                FONT arial
                COLOR 0 0 0
                SIZE 7
                ANTIALIAS TRUE
                OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
                PARTIALS true
        end
  END
END

the labels with size less then 9 are correct ?!?

Can someone verify this ?

Thanks,
