Thomas This moves the location of the text around, but doesn't stop it being rendered in the PDF as jumbo text, I wondered whether there was some handle on the text size at PDF rendering time?
Otherwise if I switch the font size to small in the map file, then the PDF looks much better, but on screen version is unreadable without a magnifying glass! I have used the label position which helps align two lines of text (one uses ll the other ul) - saves offsetting the points. I may have to spread the lines apart so when they are rendered larger they don't overlap.
