[mapserver-users] label sizes not scaling

[Ben Madin]

Thanks Steve,

I can now go back to about 20 different map files floating around the  
internet and get this working. For some reason after nearly five years  
of using MapServer I'd never worked this out!

I might trac this for addition to the docs -

cheers

Ben
