Thanks for the help, but I think the problem is that the text i have in my mapinfo file don't have a text field to display. The feature is a text.
Maybe the problem is how to translate it to a shape file.
I already try to use:

ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -nlt POINT shp/TB.shp TB.TAB
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" shp/TB.shp TB.TAB

But I have always the same problem.

Using OGR everything is ok...

#STYLEITEM "auto"
#CONNECTIONTYPE ogr
#CONNECTION "/var/www/maps/TB.TAB"

But according to Frank, I need a thread-safe environment and OGR is not really threadsafe.

Thanks in advance,

Fred

Hi Frederico,

Tra something like this

LAYER
        NAME "sample"
        DATA "path/to/your/shape"
        STATUS ON
        TYPE ANNOTATION
        LABELITEM "text_field_to_display"
        LABELMAXSCALE 8001
        SYMBOLSCALE 2000 # you need it for scaleable labels
        CLASS
                LABEL
                        COLOR 240 150 5
                        SIZE 7
                        POSITION CC
                        FONT my_font    # defined in your FONTSET file
                        TYPE TRUETYPE
                        ANGLE AUTO
                END
        END
END

I hope this helps you
