<div>Thanks guys. I will give this ago. Any ideas about poor performance when using a true type font? Why does MapServer need to load the .ttf file each time to draw a symbol. Surely the ttf file should be cached?</div>

Regards,<br>Jon-Paul.<br></blockquote><br></div>Jukka is right, always make sure to run the shptree commandline utility on all of your ESRI shapefiles before using them in MapServer (<a href="http://mapserver.org/utilities/shptree.html" target="_blank">http://mapserver.org/utilities/shptree.html</a>). You'll see huge speed differences.<br>
