[Mapserver-dev] Transparency, truetype label and jpeg RGB format:strange behaviour

[David Graham]

Assefa:

If you are using GD 2.0.11 how are you supporting OUTPUT=GIF? I used 
your compilation here at i-cubed before building my own and it sure 
looked like it was supporting only 8bit raster images even when RGB was 
requested.

Just curious.
