[UMN_MAPSERVER_USERS] Character issue with GetMap and SLD

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Assefa,

This was exactly it.  I contact the admin of this WMS, got the font list
from them (the font we were using wasn't in their setup), applied one of
the fonts supplied, and everything worked.

The real solution here would be to have OGC:WMS w/SLD GetCapabilities
output report on what fonts are supported.  Next OGC meeting :)
