[mapserver-users] Symbol Def. Help

[Hankley, Chip]

I'm having a hard time figuring out a couple of things about symbol
definitions.

What I want to do, is make a symbol for a fiber optic line that looks like
this:

------FO------FO------FO------FO

I can get a trutype symbol to work, with ONE letter.

1) How can I get it to work with more than one character?
2) What is the "&#" part of the character mapping doing? Is there some
reference for figuring out character mappings?

TIA!
