[mapserver-dev] OGR autostyle font mapping problem

[Daniel Morissette]

FYI there was ticket #1908 about supporting spaces in font names, and a 
suggestion to use quotes to allow spaces in font names. Ticket #1908 was 
closed 'wontfix' because the original issue with spaces in SVG fonts is 
no longer relevant in 6.0, but we could reopen if necessary.
