I am have troubling getting truetype symbols to work in 4.0b or the current
development version.

The following map and symbol file snippets display a state highway shield.
This worked fine on a previous 4.0 development version (Nightly 3-27-03?)
but now displays an error when php-mapscript tries to render the image.

"Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object ..."

Truetype works ok for labeling,  just not symbols.

Any help or clues would be appreciated.

BTW
The shp2img will not return an image (no error message,  just a ":") unless
I remove the truetype symbol or change to a bit map symbol.
We are using Linux (Redhat Advanced Server) to run our mapserver
applications.

Thanks
