AW: [Mapserver-users] TTF support or not?

[Schlemmer Thilo]

Thanks for your reply, Bjoen and Vincent...

I guess, I understand, what my problem is.
I have to recompile my mapserver-version with a gdlib that suport
freetype....
But unfortunately i can't recompile my mapserver, because  i don't know how
to compile (never tried before) and where i get all the packages for
oracle-support and so on.

I guess, i have to wait until someone of my colleagues return from holiday
;) and exercise with a different (... but running ttf-support)
mapserver-version. 

Thanks a lot for your help.
