I have line data shape file (i.e. roads) and I wish to label the roads =
using the attribute "Road_name".

I've tried a number of things w.r.t. setting the path for the FONTSET =
but still cannot get it.=20

my template & map file are in the wwwroot, which is my Home Directory on =
Win2K and IIS.
I have my fonts.list file in "wwwroot\fonts\fonts.list"

when I try FONTSET "fonts/fonts.list" I get this error -=20

getSymbol(): Symbol definition error. (FONT):(47)=20

Then I try SYMBOLSET "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\symbols\symbols35.sym" I get =
this error -=20

getSymbol(): Symbol definition error. (FONT):(48)=20

I don't have a symbols.sym file from the downloaded stuff, just the =
symbols35.sym file

Don't know what to try next. Here is my map file (there could be errors)
