Hi, I've just committed a new feature that should make people dealing with road plates happy: stretchable road plates.
The GeoTools rendering subsystem has had the ability to put a graphic on the back of a label for quite some time using TextSymbolizer2, which includes a Graphic in the definition of the symbolizer. Adding the graphic in the text symbolizer guarantees the graphic is painted only if the label is, and in the same position as the label (given certain params the renderer will move around the labels trying to find non conflicting positions). However up until today the graphic was fixed in side: too small for some labels, too big for others. http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-3238 adds two vendor options that enable graphic resizing with a customizable margin around the label. The jira also contains a few examples of stretching using a mark or an SVG symbol (the stretching works for raster images too, but of course the result does not look as nice). Enjoy!
