Ist question: your mapfile says to create a 400x300 map yet the template is expecting
600x600. Edit the <input type="image"... element and change the values for the
imgxy hidden variable to "199.5 149.5".
2nd question: must be a problem in your definitions. You should be able to do arial in
both places without a problem.
3rd question: see the 1st question

MapServer friends:
I am pretty new to MapServer and trying to understand how everything works
in mapserver. Recently, I change some stuffs in a demo version and put new
data. When I run this demo version, my map is not centered properly. What
could be the reason? Is this something to do with projection problem?
Although all of my maps are in decimal degrees.
Another question: I like a font created in legend but I can not duplicate
the same font on the map even though I use same font. Anyone know the reason?
Third question I have is..a map generated by MapServer looks very bad. Does
any body knows why it is so? Is there any way to generate a better map?
My demo MapServer URL http://gisserver.princeton.edu/ms_demo/demo_init.html
My mapfile is:
