[OpenLayers-Users] Label mis-align with IE9

Thu Feb 7 05:47:42 PST 2013

Hey Andreas,

   http://dev5.mapgears.com/tests/openlayers-ie9-label-shift/

   I added more features to the example.  The label value represents the 
fontSize used.  As you can see, the offset depends on the font size.  In 
my app, the features contain clusters and their size depends on how many 
they have, and the label represents that number as well.  The label size 
is also dynamically computed to fit inside the feature (it also 
considers the number of digits in the number).  So, in my case, my only 
plausible short-term solution is to switch to Canvas for IE9.

   Please, let me know if you find anything else or if you'd like to 
have more test-cases.

Best regards,

Alexandre
