Hi Steve, Thanks for yor help! I managed to figure it out what I needed to do to make changes to the different font etc, and the main thing was I forgot to put LABELNAME near the top of the code as now it works!

Re: [mapserver-users] label issues...
Mark, I think that you are close. You can likely simplify your layer a little by dropping out the properties that have a default, e.g. angle, position, etc. You also might want to comment out the FORCE and PARTIALS until you see that you are drawing labels. You should also be able to put the combine the two classes and have your label and symbol in the same class. Classes are about 'classifying' your data. In some cases you have multiple classes, one for each data range. E.g. where a column value is less than 10, one where it is more than 10 and less than 100, and one where it is greater than 100. Each class would likely have a different symbolization then. At a minimum, you need one class. This is what you need. David.

Re: [mapserver-users] label issues...
So you want you labels to be white? What color is your background? Do you have a FONTSET fonts.txt that maps arial to a font. I assume you probably do as it is not throwing an error about it. Also you can get some debug info if you add to the MAP section: CONFIG MS_ERRORFILE stderr DEBUG 5 Then when you render you map look in the apache error.log file. Or try it with: shp2img -m mymapfile.map -o image.png There are lots of other parameters, but that should be enough to get some output. -Steve On 3/18/2013 5:30 PM, Mark Mirrlees wrote: Hi there, Ok so I have revised the mapfile to this...
