[mapserver-users] Re: msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Requested font (sans) not found.

John,

You should specify the fonts to be used by mapserver in a fontset file
and add the FONTSET section in your mapfile accordingly.
For more information see:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/fontset/fontset/

Best regards,

Tamas
