[Mapserver-users] TTF question

[Zamil Murji]

Hello,

I'm using mapserver 4.2. I have a layer that uses a postgis db. Everything works fine when I use a simple symbol like a filled circle to display the points. Inside the db, I have a column that has the glyph index into the TTF file to show. So instead of showing a filled circle, I would like to display the glyph index. Can this be done? Or should I find out what character corresponds to that glyph index, create another column, perform an update statement to convert the glyph index to the character, and then display this layer as type annotation?

Any help would be appreciated.
