  I'm trying to add labels to shapes in a swf output.

As said in FlashMapserverUserDoc.html, Ming only supports FDB fonts. I =
downloaded some fdb fonts.
Perhaps these are not good ones, because the swf shows very tiny labels =
whatever value (tiny|small|medium|large|giant) I choose for the label =
size.
Has anyone been confronted to this problem ?

Could someone send me some fdb fonts ? Are some fdb fonts available in =
the DmSolutions site (like it is said) ?

An integer value must be use for label size only for truetype type. As =
fdb fonts can only be used as bitmap fonts, isn't it possible to give =
then size value in integer ?

Thanks in advance.
