Hello, 

 

I'm trying to display labels on my map, but I get the following error :
: msGetLabelSize(): Could not find/open font. 

 

I defined a FONTSET FILE in the mapfile which contains font paths :
FONTSET   "../font/fontset.txt"

 

Content of fontset.txt : 

 

Arial (TrueType) C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\ARIAL.TTF

 

And, the layer on which I want to see the labels is defined in the
mapfile : 

 

LAYER 

            NAME         " A0"

              CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial      

            CONNECTION  "user at bd/pwd"

            DATA "GEOM FROM MN_A0 USING UNIQUE ID SRID 8307 "

            STATUS       DEFAULT

            TYPE         POLYGON

            MINSCALE       150

            MAXSCALE    500

            GROUP "Administratif"

            TOLERANCE    100

            TOLERANCEUNITS pixels

            LABELITEM "NAME"

            LABELCACHE on

            CLASS

                NAME                      "Pays - A0"       

                COLOR        255 216 176

                OUTLINECOLOR 32 32 32

                TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html"

                LABEL

                         MINFEATURESIZE 1

                        MINDISTANCE 1

                        POSITION CC

                        TYPE TRUETYPE

                        FONT "Arial"

                        SIZE 12

                       ANTIALIAS TRUE

                       COLOR 0 0 0

                        OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255

                END

            END

            

END # A0

 

 

The font named 'Arial' is in c:/Windows/font. 

 

On the Web, it is said to check the Apache user or mapserver has
permission to access the font file and the ttf files. But I don't know
how to do that. 

 

Could you hep me ? 

 

I use : 

-          windows xp

-          ms4w : php/mapscript 4.10, apache 2, php5.2

-          Oracle spatial 10g

 

 

Aude
