[mapserver-users] truetype weirdness

[thorsten fischer]

You probably received a part of this email twice before I completed
it because of my complete unability to use my mail program. I am sorry for any
inconvinience caused. Come to think of it, I also feel very sorry for 
not being able to spell words correctly.


Ladies and gentlemen,

thanks for your quick answers to my last question, and I will give the
suggestions a try. But here I have another thing, and it is about to
make me mad by now. 

I am trying to do the following in an annotation layer: 

   CLASS 
    EXPRESSION /./ 
    LABEL 
      COLOR 0 0 0 
      OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255 
      TYPE TRUETYPE 
#      TYPE BITMAP 
      FONT arial 
      SIZE 12 
#      SIZE SMALL 
      POSITION CR 
      PARTIALS TRUE 
      BUFFER 1 
    END 
   END 

The WMS enabled box only returns the following message: 

<ServiceException>
msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Could not find/open font
</ServiceException>

Fontpath is set, the directory exist and is readable. The 'fontlist'
file contains valid entries, the .ttf files exist, they are readable as
well and are valid truetype font files. clases, labelitems and
classitems are properly set up; uncommenting the bitmap font parts above
delivers valid results.

# mapserv -v
MapServer version 3.5 (beta) OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7
INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE 

Any suggestions?


tia,

thorsten
