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

DATA "the_geom from airports_view"
