[mapserver-users] SVG text

[thomas bonfort]

Jefferson,
There is currently no way to produce those elements with mapserver,
and to my knowledge there are no plans to do so yet. A specific
rendering driver would need to be implemented to achieve this, but has
not yet been funded or proposed.

regards,
thomas
