[mapserver-users] type Truetype error for label angle

[Brent Fraser]

Have a look in your FONTSET file

	FONTSET 	"/opt/mapping/maps/fonts/fontset.list"


and make sure the font file referenced by "tahoma" actually exists.  For 
example GeoMoose delivers a fontset.list file but not most of the fonts 
listed (it only delivers Open Data Bitstream Vera fonts).  E.g. try 
"vera_sans" as a font name.

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
