[mapguide-internals] font substitution question

[Zac Spitzer]

there is this bug i filed after a discussion a while back

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/532

but's that's on linux...

what I failed to mention in my previous email was that the problem was
on windows
and the font didn't exist on my machine. Rather than falling back on something
generic like Arial, the labels simply weren't rendered at all
