[mapserver-users] True Type font

[Yeewen Sat]

I'm having problem using True Type fonts. I get this "msGetLabelSize():
TrueType Font error. Could not find/open font" error when I define LABEL to
use TYPE TRUETYPE. If I just use the default Bitmap, the labels show up no
problem.

Please help.

I'm running mapserver 4.3 on Linux.

Here's a cut out of the mapfile:
#

      ANGLE 405.000000
      POSITION lc
      MAXSIZE 24
      MINSIZE 4
    END
  END
END

The fonts.list file looks like this:
