[Mapserver-users] truetype symbol size in legend

Hello,

Going on with the learning process concerning (proportionately sized)
truetype symbols...

Thanks to Jan Hartmann and Michael Schulze, I can now satisfyingly display
symbols proportionate to a given attribute. Now I would like to be able to
display this symbol in the legend at a reaonable size.

Below is my entire layer definition. When I display this, I get a
one-pixel point in the legend for "Symbole cercle TT". I can "hack" a
larger symbol by using the SYMBOL and SIZE commands. However, this works
as long as SIZE is smaller then the smallest value in LABELSIZEITEM,
otherwise everything smaller is scaled up to the value of SIZE...

Is there a way of defining the size of one symbol within the legend ?

Moritz
