Hi Graham,
You have right I am using the iso8859 Greek arial font.
I try to use a copy form c:\windows\font the arial unicode ttf file but the problem remains ....

I have just solved the same problem and this is the snippet from my map file. You are probably aware that you need to be careful of the font you are using to old your data. If you are using iso8859-n (Greek) then you need a font with those characters in the upper 128 character positions. However if you are using UTF-8 encoding then use the arial.ttf font and you will get support for all/most of the iso8859-n range of character sets.
My next trick is to try the new �Arial Unicode ms� font for far east languages.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick repsonses.
I used an absolute path to the fontset.txt:
arial C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\gp\font\arial.ttf
and in the map file I refer only to arial truetype fonts but the problem remains!
msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Requested font (arial) not found.
Also the arial.ttf file is a copy from the C:\windows\fonts directory so it is not corrupt..

Hello,
I would start by using an absolute path to the fontset.txt file to see if the relative path is the problem.
Then I would try using just one font in the list and see if you can get that working. If it can find the arial font but not the arialbd then maybe that font file is corrupt.

Hi all,
I want to use true type fonts in my maps and I am using the following setup:
a "font" folder with: arial.ttf arialbd.ttf.
also in this folder is placed the fontset.txt:
arial arial.ttf
arialbd arialbd.ttf
and finally in my map file
..
FONTSET "..\font\fontset.txt"
....
LABEL
TYPE truetype
FONT arialbd
SIZE 9
but the mapserver produces ::
msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Requested font (arialbd) not found.
I am completely stuck here.
The mapserver sees the fontset.txt, (if i rename it it produces an repsective error message) but it can not read the aliases!
