I'm not sure if this is the cause or not but if you look carefully there
is a difference in the spacing between characters. This will cause the
bbox for the label to be larger? maybe and it will bump off labels that
now collide with the longer labels. You can try decreasing the BUFFER on
the label to allow them to be closer together. But I suspect that beyond
that there is not much you can do because that labels are just
physically larger than before.

G'day,
We're experimenting with AGG, and have noticed a little problem ... not sure of
the source, or whether we can address it through a mapfile though.
Note these 2 images:
http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/gd.gif
http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/agg.png
One is GD/GIF, the other is AGG/PNG. All other things are equal (MapServer
5.0.2).
Labels that are to the left of the point seem to be placed differently ... Look top-right
("Les Escoumins", "Saint Anne de Port Neuf", etc ...) for an example, though it
happens all over the place I think. Labels to the right of the point however seem ok.
Is this a bug? A design change? Can anything be done from the mapfiel to
mitigate this?
Oh and what's the recommended FreeType version these days? This MapServer is
runnning against 2.1.10.
Thank you,
Jean-François Doyon
