Hi,

Is there any extension or trick to rendering text in an efficient manner 
independant of geometry?

I have a layered map of polygon geometries in which counties appear beneath 
towns and
landuse. I need to present map text to display the county name over all
layers but the county geometry must appear under the other layers.

I don´t have much experience with geoserver, but my initial thinking
would be to sybolize the layer geometries first, and then add the
counties layer a second time with the polygons set to white or opacity
= 1.

This has the result that the text poisition is determined by the polygon
shape. How would I go about repositioning the text to more suitable
areas....for example if the text overlaps with a symbol?

I haven´t seen many threads about pure text in geoserver. Has this been 
overlooked?

Yours,
