[Mapserver-users] Stile problem with SWF and fdb fonts

[Stephen Woodbridge]

OK, I didn't remember this exactly right. But bug 370
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=370
is what I was thinking of. I was pdflib not ming that I ran into this 
problem with. That said, you should read the bug anyway and look ad how 
we used ldd to diagnose where the library conflict came from. You might 
be able to use the same trick to get a better handle on your exact problem.
