[mapserver-users] RV: rotating labels

[Stephen Lime]

It's not a mapfile issue, the GD library the software was built against didn't have
Freetype support. Either rebuild or get a new version...

Hi everyone,

I am trying to rotate labels. It seems that I need the FONTSET with the fonts.lists file.
I am using windows Nt 4.0 and I got the following error message:
"msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. libgd was not built with TrueType font support "
Could anyone (please) tell me what am I doing wrong?
 
This is part of the map file corresponding to the layer I want to show labels about.
