[Mapserver-users] can't display truetype fonts

[David Fawcett]

Are you setting a SIZE in the LABEL object?

e.g. 

        LABEL
          TYPE TRUETYPE
          FONT "arial"
          SIZE 7
          POSITION auto
          MINSIZE 6
          MAXSIZE 20
          COLOR 0 0 0
       END

David.

I'm having trouble with using true type fonts in my mapserver
application. 
 Basically, if I specify a label as truetype, I receive the following 
message:   "msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Could not find/open

font ."
If I specify a label as bitmap, it displays correctly.
My paths are correct and no problems were noticed during installation.
I'm not sure why this is happening - should I have some type of 
'truetype.dll' somewhere?

I'm running the following:
Windows 2000
Mapserver 4.2
php mapscript 4.3.4
Apache 2.0

MapScript
MapServer Version 
MapServer version 4.2.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
OUTPUT=PDF OUTPUT=SWF SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE
SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER 
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT
INPUT=POSTGIS 
INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE 
PHP MapScript Version 
($Revision: 1.194.2.3 $ $Date: 2004/05/13 21:37:44 $) 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
