Are the font files also in wwwroot\fonts\ ? I've found it easier to have 
the font.list in the same directory as the font files. Also check case - 
the font file names in font.list are case sensitive (even on windows).

Are the font files also in wwwroot\fonts\ ?
I've found it easier to have the font.list in the same directory as the
font files. Also check case - the font file names in font.list are case

I've tried a number of things w.r.t. setting
the path for the FONTSET but still cannot get it. 
  
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 - 
  
getSymbol(): Symbol definition error.
(FONT):(47) 
  
Then I try SYMBOLSET
"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\symbols\symbols35.sym" I get this error -
 
  
getSymbol(): Symbol definition error.
(FONT):(48) 
  
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)
