My other TTF question solved this as well. Just change the DATA expression to use the chr function from postgres.

Thanks

Hello list,

I am currently using a symbol to display a postgis layer. I want to give the user the ability to display any character from a special font file that we have. Is there a way to force a layer to display a certain character. 

I know you can do LABELITEM and give it a column in the db to reference for the character (this works btw), but I want to write it into the map file so that it is easy to change. I also don't want to have 500000 redundant rows because if I have to change that character then I have to write an update function instead of just changing the .map file.

Any ideas?
Zamil
