(Apologies if this is going out twice, I got an error when I tried to
send it the first time, this is my first time posting to the list)
Hi-
I am new to this and trying to set up my first map server on a linux
box. When I try to use trutype font labels for my legend I get the
following error:
msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Requested font (courier) not found.

This also occurs if I change the font to say arial:
msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Requested font (arial) not found.

My legend is as follows:
LEGEND
     STATUS on
     IMAGECOLOR 230 230 230
     LABEL
          TYPE truetype
          FONT "courier"
          COLOR 0 0 0
          SIZE 10
          ANTIALIAS true
     END
END

Commenting out TYPE and FONT and changing SIZE to small gets rid of
the error. I am not sure if this is a typo, permissions, path, or some
other issue. My fontset.txt, and an ls of the font directory and my
map file are below. Any help would be appreciated.
