[mapserver-users] TRUETYPE symbols in 3.6 with PHP and CGI

[Van Ulden, Joost]

Hello all,

We are trying to get our php/mapscript implementation to render more than 50
classifications of a particular layer.  We have a new build that supports
the number we need (200) but have been unsuccessful in getting it to work.
As a test we are trying to use the same mapfile in a cgi implementation, but
now, we don't seem to get any true type symbols showing up at all.  At least
in the php/mapscript implementation (as long as we did not exceed the 50
class limit!) we got the TRUETYPE symbols to render.  

Is there a difference in how the fonts and symbols should be authored
between the two implementations?  If not, does anyone have any suggestions?
Has anyone been successful in exceeding the 50 class/65 symbol limits using
php/mapscript?  Any suggestions would be helpful.

Regards,
