[Mapserver-users] Labeling question

[Steve Lime]

There is a TEXT option for a class that sets a static label to be used
for all features in that class. That way you don't need a labelitem.

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
