[Mapserver-users] TrueType fonts problem -- help needed

[Frieso ter Haseborg]

Hi,

there should be no difference between a mapfile for direct-use in MS
and a mapfile used with MS/mapscript. IMHO you should check your php for
the problem first (post the relevant part of the code too, if the
problem continues). 

=> Do you execute the drawLabelCache-method (e.g. map->drawLabelCache (
$image ))?

Don't forget the cc to the list!

HTH,
Frieso
