OK, to compare 5.6.7, 6.4.1 and 7.0.0beta, I compiled all three versions under 
centos 6.5 and
created a simple mapfile:

http://s.markus-spring.info/legend-agg.map

Using the AGG renderer only because of its much better rendering, and got these 
results through the legend command:

mapserver 5.6.7 (http://s.markus-spring.info/legend-agg-5.6.7.png)

mapserver 6.4.1 (http://s.markus-spring.info/legend-agg-6.4.1.png)

mapserver 7.0.0beta (http://s.markus-spring.info/legend-agg-7.0.0beta1.png)

There are clear differences in the rendered font sizes, but 5.6.7 and 7.0.0beta1 
do not truncate the text, only 6.4.1 does.

For me the question is if (or when) 7.0.0 is production quality already, and not 
only the mapserver itself but also mapcache, as the internet map services of the 
City of Munich are going to use that for the background maps.

Best regards

Markus
