Hi B,

Things look correct in your setup.  You might want to try having the 
fontset.txt and all the font files in the same directory.  I'm not sure 
if this is necessary but it is usually how I set things up.  Also ensure 
the permission settings for the font files allows mapserver to read 
them.  That is all I can see to try.  Hope it helps,
