dowload site (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.boutell.com/gd/">http://www.boutell.com/gd/</a>) is down, and there is no
indication how long this will be so. There is a link to the code
repository, but no standard tar-file is to be found there. Since
MapServer cannot be compiled without GD, would it make sense to
provide a tarball on mapserver.org?<br>

Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Layer rendering performance problem
what mapserver version and renderer/driver are you using?
AGG should'nt be accessing the font file unless a new character is
encountered. For GD I don't know.

<pre wrap="">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?
Rgards,
Jon-Paul.

Hi Jukka,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. No I haven't tried this. How
is this done and what is the benefit? Aren't Shape files already indexed?
Regards,
Jon-Paul.

Jukka is right, always make sure to run the shptree commandline utility on
all of your ESRI shapefiles before using them in MapServer
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mapserver.org/utilities/shptree.html">http://mapserver.org/utilities/shptree.html</a>). You'll see huge speed
differences.
