I've followed advices to use FORCE TRUE...etc....I am trying to compare with and understand from some of you guys working code... have yet to get it done. My knowledge is still far from there, although I've played around quite a number of possibilities.
Delfos, I'm interested to know how to open DGN as annotation layer? (In fact, I'm confused labelled text attributes with annotations) I think your suggestion can lead me to solve the problem. In essence, what to put for the LABELITEM? In my case, as output from OGRInfo, I assume it is called "Text" attribute. I could be wrong.
I don't see error in the web server (apache)'s log.

Are you sure there is a value for the "Text" attribute? Because this is
different from the annotation layer that is stored in a DGN. The labels
you see in a DGN are annotations, NOT labelled text attributes. To show
those annotations, you'd have to open the DGN as an annotation layer, I
think.
Also, you are defining it as a line layer, yet you ask for an outline
colour in the class, and "styleitem auto". If you use "styleitem auto",
your colours in classes will be ignored. But to define an outline colour
for a line-layer may be a problem...
Anything in your logs?

Hi,
Thanks for highlighting the error. I've changed accordingly. But
I still see nothing for the label. I can't figure out what else needs to
be amended. I've tried different parameters but failed. To the minimum,
what's missing in the following portion?
I have the sans font properly put at the right place
Since DGN file has just one layer, I assume I only needs to deal
with one layer here?
Below is the portion of the code for the layer.
LAYER
NAME dgn
TYPE LINE
STATUS DEFAULT
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "11sw9d.dgn,0"
STYLEITEM "AUTO"
LABELITEM "Text"

Your label definition must sit inside the class. So:

LABEL

END #end label

Hi All,
Thanks for your information. Based on your
comments, I've added
label section, the fonts and font list for FONTSET.
I don't know what should I put for LABELITEM. I
put "Text", as
seen in the dump out of OGRFeatures. (sorry, I am really
novice in the
terms to use). I've tried amending the various
parameters but still
don't see the labels coming out.
Would you please pinpoint me what else I should
change in the
map file? Thanks.
My MapFile below:

Jack,
I *think* the most common reason
autostyling text from
OGR fails in
mapserver is forgetting to map the
"default" font in
your fontlist.txt file.
This is the font name used when the
LABEL tool does not
include
an explicit font name, as in this case.
Hopefully this will help.
Best regards,
