ms 4.10.1 Windows msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Could not find/open font.

[Stephen Woodbridge]

As a follow up to this problem it looks like ms4w does not support 
absolute paths to font files in the fontset.txt file and that paths MUST 
be relative to the fontset.txt file.

This is NOT the way the linux code works and it makes it difficult to 
mightrate applications from one environmant to the other. This should 
probably be a bug but bugzilla is down for the count.
