T? µa: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] truety pe fonts problem...

[Fawcett, David]

Kio, 
 
Did you use the absolute path in your mapfile?  
 
e.g. Instead of    FONTSET "..\font\fontset.txt"
 
this
 
FONTSET  "c:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\gp\font\fontset.txt"
 
David.
 
PS.  It looks like you are on Windows, but if this was on Linux, I would also suggest to look at the case of the font file names and the case of the text in your fontset.txt file.  A mix in case threw me a loop the first time that I ported a MapServer app from a Windows to a linux box.

	Thanks for the quick repsonses.
	
	I used an absolute path to the fontset.txt:
	arial C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\gp\font\arial.ttf
	
	and in the map file I refer only to arial truetype fonts but the problem remains!
	
	msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Requested font (arial) not found. 
	
	Also the arial.ttf file is a copy from the C:\windows\fonts directory  so it is not corrupt..

		Hello,

		I would start by using an absolute path to the fontset.txt file to see if the relative path is the problem.

		Then I would try using just one font in the list and see if you can get that working.  If it can find the arial font but not the arialbd then maybe that font file is corrupt.

			Hi all,

			        FONT arialbd
			         SIZE 9
			
			
			but the mapserver produces ::
			
			msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Requested font (arialbd) not found. 
			
			
			
			I am completely stuck here.
			The mapserver sees the fontset.txt, (if i rename it it produces an repsective error message) but it can not read the aliases!
