TrueType Font Error

[Dirk Jesko]

Blaine,

Make sure the path to your font files does not have any blanks. I had
the same problem. Finally I moved the font directory including the
fontset.list from "C:\Programme\Apache Group\htdocs\..." to "C:\fonts"
and specified the full path to the fontset.list within the mapfile. This
works perfectly, even with relative paths in fontset.list. On a
different machine I installed Apache in "C:\Programme\ApacheGroup\..."
(without the blank). I that case it works even if the fontfiles reside
somewhere under that path.

Regards,
Dirk
