[mapserver-users] Re:acetate logo & inline features / text string

[Merrick Lex Berman]

Hi,

I would also like to know about use of logos on the output image, mentioned 
in Haddad's recent request (below).

Also, regarding the use of the inline features, I find that it outputs on 
the first saved map image, but not on subsequest queries...  Anyone know 
how to make the TRUETYPE string persist?

thanks,
Lex
