 In Ubuntu Linux 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) when running the sample Sheboygan
 Sample Dataset, the labels for the "Districts" and "Road Line" layers are
 in some strange alien font instead of their expected font (Verdana)

 It seems that MapGuide is having troubles locating the correct font.

 I have limited knowledge of fonts in Linux, but I know that the Verdana
 font is actually installed, as I can choose the font when customising the
 appearance of my user interface in GNOME.

 The workaround was to copy the actual font file directly into the "bin"
 directory of the mapguide server directory.
