[mapserver-users] Truetype symbols won't render in AGG png?

[Barend Kobben]

Hi,

Since upgrading to 5 and using the AGG renderer for antialiassed PNG, my
truetype font symbols won't render properly.

See 
http://geoserver.itc.nl/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=D:/Inetpub/geoserver/mapserv
er/config.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=forest,railroa
d,airports&SRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=97.35,5.61,105.64,20.47&WIDTH=400&HEIGHT=600&F
ORMAT=image/png

When requesting the same as jpeg (change image/png to image/jpeg in the URL)
the symbols are there again, but now of course no nice anti-aliassing...

Both worked fine in 4.10, I changed nothing in my mapfile, other then adding
in the beginning:

    IMAGETYPE PNG24 ## employ AGG to for anti-aliassing
    OUTPUTFORMAT
     NAME 'AGG'
     DRIVER AGG/PNG
     MIMETYPE "image/png"
     IMAGEMODE RGB
     EXTENSION "png"
    END

As indicated on the AGG rendering page on the website.

Strangely enough the legend labels, which are also truetype, work fine...
