Great, so I'm getting it :-D
Next question is, what "type" should I use to draw texts ?
My layer containing text is:

LAYER
DEBUG OFF
  NAME "text"
  TYPE point
  STATUS OFF
  TILEINDEX "priamo_text.shp"
  TILEITEM "location"
  CLASS
    NAME "region"
    STYLE
#      OUTLINECOLOR 120 120 120
      COLOR 0 0 0

    END
  END
END # layer

the MAP header is:

MAP
NAME DEMO
IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255
SIZE 530 530
Extent 2285117.310158 4727319.440000 2431485.920000 4871301.690000
FONTSET ../etc/fonts.txt

Thanks again
