msGetLabelSize() : Could not find/open font {Scanned} {Scanned} {Scanned}

[Siki Zoltan]

Hi,

More tipps ...
Does your mapserver distribution support freetype?
Try
 mapserv -v
at the command promt. You should see ... SUPPORTS=FREETYPE ...
Do you have the arial.ttf file in the c:\windows\fonts folder?
The font set file path should be given relativ to the map file or 
absolute. Check the relative path or replace with absolute path.
