And I pointed mapfile to the OSM_TAH.map file to layer TilesAtHome. I also edited outputtype.lyr to point to FONTSET and SYMBOLSET you define, there were '../fontset/fontset.list', I changed it to './fonts/fontset.list' because fonts dir is a subdir of maps directory. And it was the same with symbolset.

>>> Hi there. You replied to my post about problems with printing. I have hardly ever used a map file, so what you are suggesting here (http://www.osgeo.org/pipermail/geomoose-users/2010-July/002435.html) is a little bit problematic for me. I tried to write a map file with layer of openstreetmap tiles. I wanted to use it as a base layer with possibility to print. But i wasn't successful.
