[Mapserver-users] can't display truetype fonts

[Daniel Berstein]

Hola Kgrootendorst,

This error seems to happen when there are white spaces in the path of
your map, font list, or fonts files. i.e: c:\my fonts\arial.ttf


Saludos,
 Daniel Berstein Z.                            mailto:dbz at soli.cl

kbc> Double check that you have the correct FONTSET inyour mapfile.  You
kbc> might try giving FONTSET an absolute path, if you haven't already (e.g.,
kbc> on my Linux box, FONTSET /www/fonts/fonts.txt).  I've found that Ialso
kbc> need to use absolute paths within my fonts.txt file (e.g., arial 
kbc> /www/fonts/TrueType/arial.ttf).
