[mapserver-users] Text outline not working on line features

[Bistrais, Bob]

This is an older version of MapServer, MS4W 2.3.1, MapServer 5.2.1.

Using a global file with the outputformat params:

	OUTPUTFORMAT
		NAME 'agg/png'
		DRIVER AGG/PNG
		IMAGEMODE RGBA
		FORMATOPTION "TRANSPARENT=TRUE"
	END 

	OUTPUTFORMAT
		NAME 'print'
		DRIVER "GD/GIF"
		MIMETYPE "image/gif"
		IMAGEMODE PC256
		EXTENSION "gif"
		TRANSPARENT ON
	END

-So we're going to gif on the printout.

Not sure what you meant by label output.  But here's what I see- on the
web application, the labels are as they should be- they have the
background halo.  On the printed map, the label text itself appears, but
no background halo.

Yes, I'm absolutely sure that's the code being used in the .map file.

Bob,

Also, what are you getting for label output in you case? More info would

help diagnose this.

Thanks,
