I installed "GRASS6.4.svn" and I tried "v.label.sa". I see that this tool mantain the number of labels, and re-arrange labels locations for better results. But my map has many elements. It is necessary to suppress some labels, or some points. For example, I have seen that the program MapServer performs this task very well. Anyway, I'm very happy using GRASS! So, thanks all. Specially, to developers.
