[mapserver-users] fonts with ms-3.6

[Timothy M. Thompson]

Bertha,

Drop the ".TTF" at the end of your FONT reference in your MAP file.

ie:
       TYPE TRUETYPE
       ANTIALIAS true
       FONT Tunga
       SIZE 14

(Note: I don't use double quotes around the font alias, but I think it 
works both ways).

The word "Tunga" is all you need, since that is what you have listed it as 
in your "fonts.list" file.

Consider your fonts.list as a lookup table (or alias table) for fonts and 
refer to them by their alias name only.  Mapserver will load the fonts.list 
file to find the path/filename of the actual TTF file.

Best,
Tim
