Hello,
I am having a problem with TrueType fonts. This is the error I get:

msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Could not find/open font=20

And this is what I do to get this error:

I have these in my mapfile:

NAME ERENKOY
STATUS ON
SIZE 600 600
SHAPEPATH "data"
IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255
FONTSET font.list

and

LAYER
  NAME ERENKOY_ORNEKSOKAK_PL_polyline
  TYPE LINE
  GROUP sokaklar
  STATUS ON
  DATA ERENKOY_ORNEKSOKAK_PL_polyline
  LABELITEM "ADI"
  CLASS
    NAME "ADI"
    COLOR 161 02 110
    LABEL
      TYPE truetype
      FORCE true
      FONT arial
      COLOR 0 0 0
      BACKGROUNDCOLOR 250 250 250=20
      POSITION cc
      SIZE 8
    END
  END
END

This ERENKOY_ORNEKSOKAK_PL_polyline layer's dbf file includes two =
coloumns, ID and ADI (name). This is a street layer and I am trying to =
get the name of the streets written next to their lines.

font.list include:

arial                           arial.ttf
arial-bold                      arialbd.ttf
arial-italic                    ariali.ttf
arial-bold-italic               arialbi.ttf

I have all the related ttf files in the same directory as font.list =
text, mapfile and the html page calling these fonts. However I get the =
error. May it be that my mapserver is not truetype compiled? I must =
admit that I installed mapserver and mapscript through rpms so I dont =
know the trutype situation of my mapserver 3.6.  If I can get this =
labelling to work then I am going to use th same mapfile for a mapscript =
page.

Have a nice day.
