TrueType Font Error

[Ed McNierney]

Blaine -

Yes, but that error means MapServer can't find the specific font that's
listed in the fonts.list file.  Look at the name of the font you're
using, then find that name in the fonts.list file, and follow the path
to the font file.

All

I have been wrestling with an issue and hope you can help.

I have an XP computer running MapServer 3.6.6 and Apache 2.  Truetype
fonts work fine.  I have another XP computer running 4.0.2 and Apache 2.
Truetype fonts do not work.

Here is the scenario:
If I use the default, my labels come out fine.
However if I use "TYPE TRUETYPE" I get the following error.
msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Could not find/open font

In my map file I have tried all different ways to access the
fontset.list file.  I know that it is finding the file because if I mess
with the file in any way, it gives me a different error
msLoadFontset(): Unable to access file. Error opening fontset
font/fonts.list.

I have exhaustively searched the archive and tried every suggestion but
I cannot come up with a solution.

Thanks
Blaine
