[mapserver-users] annotation problem

[Daniel Morissette]

MapServer cannot find the requested font... a few things to check:

- Do you have a FONTSET defined in your mapfile?
- Does is contain a font called ARIAL (in uppercase)?
- Is the path to this font valid?  Try setting an absolute path to the 
  .ttf file for the ARIAL font.
