Font error

[Fawcett, David]

Murat, 

In the Map block of your Map File, do you have a FONTSET line that contains the correct path to your fonts.list file.  

In that file, is there an entry for 'arial'?

Is there a corresponding arial.ttf file for that entry?  

Are the permissions correct for the directory in which the font.list and fonts are in?  

If you are on a unix or linux system, do the cases of the characters in the names and paths of the fonts match?  

David.

Hi frieds;
I would like to try the copyright text on my map by using following   
LAYER
  NAME copyright
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TYPE annotation
  TRANSFORM false
  FEATURE
    POINTS
      260 450 #this is the position of the text in image coordinates (pixels)
    END
    TEXT "© xyz company 2006" #this is your displaying text
  END   
  CLASS
    LABEL #defines the font, colors etc. of the text
      FONT arial
      TYPE truetype
      SIZE 8
      BUFFER 1
      COLOR 255 0 0
      BACKGROUNDCOLOR 255 255 255
      FORCE TRUE
    END
  END 
END

then I have got this error message. I was configured Mapserver with freetype
but Why I have faced this error and how can I solve.
Regards...

msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Requested font (arial) not found.
