Legend & TrueType

[Stephen Lime]

Symbols are better in 3.4 and the good news is that symbols won't change at all
in 3.5 (ttf arrows might actually work). That said moving to 3.4 isn't really worth it unless
you need the msworkbench stuff. You might try just nabbing the 3.4 maplegend.c code
and replacing it in your 3.3.x stuff, the changes where fairly minor, and recompiling.

Save your upgrade efforts (and anger) for 3.5...

This is indeed a Pre-3.4 version ... I'd love to migrate to 3.4 but I'm
still not sure how the new symbology works (STYLED is gone ?)... Mind you I
haven't really tried ... I'll get 3.4 and give it a go ...

I have more and more stuff running on mapserver , so migration becomes more
and more of a pain :)

Thanks,
J.F.
