MapServer: how to have the name of a street which follows its geometry (I had to struggle a bit on the web to discover this) Tested on windows. Assuming, for example, I want to write lables with arial font. - create, in the same directory as the mapfile, a file "fonts.txt" contetnt: arial C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\arial.ttf - in the mapfile: FONTSET "fonts.txt" - in the mapfile, layer declaration: LAYER # annotation, con i nomi delle strade NAME Nomi_strade TYPE ANNOTATION DATA arcvia STATUS DEFAULT LABELITEM "Nome" CLASSITEM "Nome" LABELMAXSCALE 20000 CLASS ... LABEL COLOR 30 30 30 FONT "arial" TYPE truetype POSITION AUTO ANGLE FOLLOW SIZE 8 PARTIALS FALSE BUFFER 2 END END END # nomi strade
