<TITLE>Strange symbols with WMS in ArcGIS</TITLE>

<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This is probably more of an ArcGIS question than MapServer, but perhaps somebody here has an idea. I am building a WMS-enabled service with MapServer and have been testing it out. I am using a True Type Font for the highway route shields, the .ttf file is located in the Windows/Fonts directory on the server. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">As expected, the service looks fine when consumed by MapServer and Ka-Map. It also looks fine when using the open source QuantumGIS (QGIS). But when the WMS service is consumed by ArcGIS, the Interstate Highway shields look like ampersands (the "&" symbol). I have not been able to determine why the symbols look correct by some consumers, but not ArcGIS. Does anyone have any suggestions?</FONT></P>
