Perhaps you could use OFFSET (with -99) - I have not tried it. See: http://mapserver.org/mapfile/symbology/construction.html
A general mechanism (CENTER/ORIGIN) for defining the centre point of a symbol for more control of the precise placement of symbols was suggested in RFC 45 http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-45.html , but I don't think this has been implemented yet.

I use truetype fonts to render symbols along a line. The fonts are always parallel to the line. Unfortunately I see the fonts are always centered vertically along the line. Even symbols like the '^' or '`' symbol appear on the line. How can I disable this vertical alignment? Here you see an example of a triangle symbol that should appear above the line. http://n2.nabble.com/file/n4617860/example.png Here you see an example of the '^' symbol, also aligned on the line. http://n2.nabble.com/file/n4617860/example2.png ----- http://www.topspots.org
