Yes I have noticed this with Hwy VV which looks like Hwy W on the map.
I use Arial ttf also. I get complaints about this. It would be nice if there were a way to specify wider spacing of character somehow in the mapfile and that that would get passed to the ttf code in GD. I don't know if this is even possible.

The other alternative would be to find another font with wider spacing to start with or maybe make a modified Arial with more spacing.

Any thoughts on causes or suggestions for spacing things out a little
bit?  Based on the Mapfile reference, I don't believe that there are any
parameters to set there. David.
