hello
it works very fine using CHARACTER "" instead of CHARACTER "7"..
For those who get the same issue, use winworld to get the value =
corresponding to the carater you want to get..
thanks a lots
Merci Mister Deckert ;-)

  Salut,
  I'm playing around with this kind of things. I use webdings and other =
TTF for symbologie under windows and linux.
  Can you show us the mapserver symbolfile and fontfile ?

  an example :=20


  SYMBOLFILE :=20
  ++++++++++++++++
  SYMBOL
    NAME "p_repr_02"
    TYPE TRUETYPE
    FONT webdings
    FILLED true
    ANTIALIAS true
    CHARACTER ""
  END
  ++++++++++++++++++

  FONTFILE (for windows):
  +++++++++++++++++++
  webdings webdings.ttf

  END

  To know the exact character number for the symbolfile you can do the =
following  :=20
  (Sorry this explaination is with MS Word in french)=20
  1. "Insertion" > "Caract=E8res sp=E9ciaux" > (see img1.png)=20
  2. "Touches de raccourcis" > (see img2.png) and look at "Description"
  The caracter number is 61518

  In english it would be something like this :=20
  1. "Insert" > "Special caracters" > (see img1.png)=20
  2. "Shortcuts" > (see img2.png) and look at "Description"
  The caracter number is 61518

  Hope it helps, Bernd
