[Mapserver-users] Truetype font support

[Steve Lime]

For the record, 4.0 supports GD versions 2.0.12 and higher, which in
turn only support Freetype 2. So all you'll ever see is the
SUPPORTS=FREETYPE anymore.

Hi

Yes looks like your build supports version 2.xx if it was
version 1.xx i believe you would get SUPPORTS=TRUETYPE.

someone on the list, please correct me if i am wrong

Cheers
