[Therion] label -place bottom

[michael brewer]

I haven't used the -place option before. I just had a quick go using it on a
label and I also could make no obvious change to the output. I'm not sure
what it is suppose to do.

The only solutions I have found to this are to use a smaller font, move the
label a bit (if you can), rotate the label a bit or change the wording to
make it shorter - if you can. All fairly obvious solutions and ones you have
probably already thought of!

I think there is some clever way of reducing the size of the white box
around the label but this is beyond me.

(Gloop Pot doesn't make the place sound very inviting so perhaps you are
better off with no label!)

Hello

As can be seen from the attached screenshot, the label "box" is clipping the
passage wall. To try to overcome this, as space is tight, I have added the
option of -place bottom. However, the result is same.

Am I doing something wrong, misunderstanding the use or possibly a bug?

The thbook says that clip on is not an option for labels (and it complains
if you try to add it as you would expect.) Is there another solution?

thanks

Using two labels, one for each word would work around the issue in this
case.

Gloop Pot is named after the noise it makes, it is the Narrows that 
follow that are not inviting
