[mapserver-users] Two questions

[Ivan Paoluzzi]

Hi,
I have just done these things because before I used Mapserever 3.5 
precompiled. And font worked correctly.
This is sections of my map file where is these things that you wrote me:

NAME assi
STATUS ON
SIZE 600 600
EXTENT 34516.634400379 50299.88405952 67395.339019834 78542.30613897
UNITS meters
SCALE 250000
IMAGECOLOR 236 248 203
SHAPEPATH "data"
FONTSET "data/fonts.txt"  <--- I have created a file with font names
                               that I use


LAYER
  NAME assist
  TYPE LINE
  STATUS ON
  DATA assist
  TOLERANCE 8
  LABELITEM nomevia
  LABELMAXSCALE 20000
    CLASS
      NAME "Assi Stradali"
      TEMPLATE "assist.html"
	COLOR 0 0 100
        LABEL
            COLOR 0 0 0
	    FONT arial      <--- font name that I use
	    TYPE TRUETYPE
	    SIZE 8
            ANTIALIAS TRUE
	    POSITION AUTO
            ANGLE AUTO
            MINFEATURESIZE 40
            MINDISTANCE 100
	    PARTIALS FALSE
	    BUFFER 3
	  END  #LABEL
    END  # CLASS
  HEADER "assist_header.html"
  FOOTER "assist_footer.html"
END  # LAYER

So I think that the problem is freetype or gd...
