[mapserver-users] TRUETYPE not work

[Zhang, William]

Steve,

Yes, I have the MapFile Reference document. I did not specify font in my map
file just for simplifying the test. I thought that some default font would
be used by mapserver if no font is specified by user. Is this true? Anyway
now I add font related lines in the map file below. It still does not work.

NAME alm
EXTENT  -122.0837 37.6683 -122.1104 37.6885
SIZE 800 600
SHAPEPATH "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\itasca\test\tutorial35"
FONTSET "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\itasca\test\fonts\fonts.list"
  LAYER    
    TYPE LINE
    STATUS DEFAULT
    DATA alm
    LABELITEM "FENAME"
    CLASS
      COLOR 255 0 0
      LABEL
        TYPE TRUETYPE
        ANTIALIAS
	FONT arial	
        COLOR 0 0 0		
	ANGLE AUTO
	POSITION UC	
      END	
    END
  END
END # end of map file

I have one line in the fonts.list file
	arial		arial.ttf

I also copy the arial.ttf file to the same directory as fonts.list located.

Do I miss something else?

Thank you for the help.


William

William,

Do you have a Map file Reference document?
You need to look at the LABEL section, you will see that it mentions 
a FONT tag which references an item in a FONTSET. The document will 
also tell you how to set up the FONTSET file which will need to point 
to the the fonts on your system.

The documentation page can be found off the Mapserver home page.
