AW: [Mapserver-users] scaling labels

[Michael Schulz]

Good Morning,

What were the problems with truetype? Although i couldn't find anything 
in the docs that said scaling of text labels is only possible with 
truetype fonts, i couldn't scale bitmap fonts either.

You should try it with truetype fonts. They work definitely.

Cheers, Michael
