[mapserver-users] Label text always clipped by tiles

[Mike Stoddart]

My problem is that I need ALL labels to be complete and visible. I
cannot display a partial label. Now I don't see any clipped labels
because they aren't displayed. I'm using:

tilecache 2.11
mapserver-5.4.2.3.fc12.x86_64
mapserver-python-5.4.2.3.fc12.x86_64

which I should have mentioned earlier.

Thanks
Mike
