SV: [Mapserver-users] has anyone got the wingdings TTF font to wo rk with mapserver

[Thomsen, Bo Victor]

To Stephen -

Windings is a "symbol" truetype font. Symbol tt fonts has a different
internal number offset than the normal tt fonts. Just add 61440 (IIRC) to
the apparent character number, i.e..:  

SYMBOL
  NAME "funky"
  TYPE TRUETYPE
  FONT wingding
  ANTIALIAS true
#  CHARACTER "µ" ...  181 + 61440 = 61621 
  CHARACTER ""
END
