All, After further investigation it seems as though I may have answered my own question. We were treating the coordinate values for the text object as the values of the bounding rectangle for the text. It would now seem that we misinterpreted what the coordinates mean. If we re-generate the coordinates from our application using the principle that the four coordinates follow:
x1 = Origin X y1 = Origin Y x2 = Text length y2 = Text height After regenerating the MID/MIF file we finally see the text appear as expected. The lesson here is that the coordinates for text in MID/MIF represents origin, length, and height and not the MBR.
