Hi all,
I've stumbled on a problem in Mapserver 4.0 that has me puzzled.
I have a number of point layers in my map that utilizes TrueType font =
symbols. When displayed by themselves they display perfectly.
But as soon as I turn on _any_ polygon layer, the symbols disappear, and =
colored rectangles replace them.
Pixmap symbols are not affected, only TrueType symbols are.
Turning on Raster, WMS or LINE layers doesn't seem to influence the =
symbol display at all.
Using Mapserver (Mapscript) 4.0 on Windows 2000 running PHP 4.3.2
Layers are displayed using a CLASS/STYLE definition.
Polygon layers use the TRANSPARENCY setting (if it matters).
Output is JPEG to facilitate an orthophoto backdrop.
Has anyone got a clue to what's happening, and even better, how to =
remedy this behaviour ?
Sample from my MAP file:
LAYER
...
Type POINT
CLASS
STYLE
SYMBOL "MapInfo Symbols_37"
SIZE 16
COLOR 255 0 0
END
TEMPLATE void
END
END
...
SYMBOL
NAME "MapInfo Symbols_37"
TYPE TRUETYPE
FONT "mapinfo-symbols-unicode"
FILLED true
ANTIALIAS true
CHARACTER "%"
END
Best regards / Med venlig hilsen
