Rotated LABELS TRUETYPE are placed differently from rotated TRUETYPE SYMBOLS

The truetype character (anchor.jpg : anchorpoint indicated with red arrow)

The character is to be rotated on the number in item DEGREES 0 -360

Compare : (look at the red/pink triangles in the jpgs)
(A LABEL uses TEXT, a SYMBOL TYPE TRUETYPE only CHARACTER)

  END                              |        FILLED true
                                            CHARACTER "2"
                                          END

Rotation of the truetype character as a symbol sweeps around the anchorpoint it 
seems to me (causing the placement to be off center)
POSITION setting has no effect

The placement of the LABEL is correct, 
POSITION setting does have effect:CC places it correctly on the geometry

I'll upload the three images hereafter

Reassigned to Steve as this is more of a core MapServer issue, and
labelling/symbols is his territory.

Author: dmorissette Date: 2011/03/15 - 17:14 5.4/5.6 are over, moving to 6.0 milestone. Is this still an issue in 6.0?
