Hello Group!

After transfering my application from a old server to a new one the 
following problem appeard with the text labels in the maps:



I have on both servers Mapserver 3.4 running with gd 1.2, so the outputs 
are GIF images. The only difference is that on the old server i have 
compiled PHP 3.0.18  with True Type Support and on the new server i have 
compiled PHP 4.0.5 without True Type (as told in the documentation) . 
But i have included True type to the Mapserver compilation. When i leave 
this paramter the demo wont work, because the Mapserver didnt know the 
TRUETYPE Tag in the Mapfile, so i know that it should work correctly.

This problem looks simmilar to the problem S(tepán Kafka wrote some 
postings ago, but i dont use 3.5 yet.

I have read Stevens answer to the post, but i dont know what can i do 
against this issue between GD and Freetype.

I hope anybody can help me. (So that i can give away the old server 
soon.)  ;-)
