Lable ANGLE FOLLOW in Chinese

[Jackey Cheung]

please check this out: http://www3.mapasia.com/jackout/td.rar

in the package, there are:
1. map data of a small portion of Hong Kong, in MapInfo format
2. Chinese font named "mingliu", and the font list.
3. a map file with just road and its label layers.

hope this helps :D

I still need a good test case- mapfile, font and data. So that would REALLY 
help.
