If you want to experiment, you should try using the version in the
sandbox (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://svn.osgeo.org/mapserver/sandbox/mapserver6/">http://svn.osgeo.org/mapserver/sandbox/mapserver6/</a>), instead
of trunk. This sandbox will eventually be merged to trunk Ii uses the
cairo library for the pdf output From what I can see, It seems to be in
a good shape. Note that the imagetype to use is pdf.<br>
You can see an example of a pdf generated at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www3.dmsolutions.ca/tmp/gmap-ms60.pdf">http://www3.dmsolutions.ca/tmp/gmap-ms60.pdf</a> <br>
