Julian,

My understanding is that your CLASS styling information will be ignored
when using autostyling.  I'm not sure why rendering of the labels isn't
working though.  Is it possible you are not properly mapping the font
names?  I think there is a bit in the howto explaining what the default
font name is that needs to be mapped in your fonts.lst file.

Best regards,
