The help says layer.sizeUnits "Sets the unit of CLASS object SIZE", does
that include label font size?
it sets the unit of the object size, not the size itself. The font size
is controlled by the SIZE parameter (LABEL object)
Then why did the labels font size change?
I'm not sure about this. If I'm changing sizeunits from meters to
kilometers, my style looks realy awkward but my labels are stay the same.
Here is my entire mapfile, the annotate_pin layer is at the bottom:

The mapfile looks fine. I'm unsing MINDISTANCE the same way for
controlling road labels.
One other thing you can try is to play with BUFFER for the labels.
Which version of MapServer are you using? I know along with 5.4 there
where some enhancements for labeling.
One last thought: Do you have this problem just with the layer
"annotate_pin"? Does the labeling of other layers work as you expect?

I'm using 5.4.1, perl mapscript, via OpenLayers vai WMS. (Jeez, I hope that
conveys meaning, because it could really easily be complete gibberish :-) )

Hum... good question. I'll try it Monday when I get back to work. Thanks for
the help on this.
