FONTSET problem on mac os x - empty rectangles in the image

Hi again

I am trying to get labels based on a the "name" field in a postgis
table (of GNIS placenames). Everything works great (the overlay, the
triangle symbol, etc), but in the image, I get empty boxes where the
letters should be (though I get a one-to-one box to letter).  If
anyone can help, I would sure appreciate it.  (I am  running a generic
mapserver from installed by fink.)

 Here is the view definition in sql:

SELECT placenames.gid AS oid, placenames.name, placenames.desig,
placenames.elev, placenames.the_geom
   FROM placenames
  WHERE placenames.desig::text = 'airport'::text
  ORDER BY placenames.gid;

Here is the my font file (yes, the files do exist):

MAPSCRIPT[2]$ cat fonts.list
arial    /Library/Fonts/ArialHB.ttf
arial2    /Library/Fonts/Arial
MAPSCRIPT[2]$

Here is the layer in my mapfile:

        LAYER
                NAME "airports"
                CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
                CONNECTION "user=wsprague dbname=or_gis host=localhost"
                DATA "the_geom from airports_view"
                STATUS DEFAULT
                TYPE POINT

                LABELITEM "name"

                                POSITION cc
                                ANGLE AUTO
                                PARTIALS FALSE
                        END #end label

                END
        END
