Hi,
Using multiple characters in trutype symbols was a grey area in
pre-6.0/5.6 versions of mapserver: it worked for some drivers (Gd) but
wasn't documented nor was it even really intended. I do not know of a
setting that would allow you to fill a polygon with text, aside from
creating a pixmap
aside from
creating a pixmap symbol where you've pre-rendered your text.
Any idea if a SVG symbol would do?

Dear List,
In MapServer 5.4.2, I had defined a symbol as follows:
SYMBOL
NAME IDR68
TYPE TRUETYPE
FONT arial
CHARACTER No data
GAP 2
END
and used it as a polygon fill for a layer
CLASS
STYLE
SYMBOL IDR68
COLOR 0 0 0
OUTLINECOLOR 0 0
