[mapserver-users] Legend / GetLegendgraphic with truetype symbols

[Michael Schulz]

Hi Tamas,

thanks for your answer.

I don't have the mapfile at hand, but it breaks down to symbol for a
point defined as a truetype character, but the layer has sizeunits
meters defined. So, the only problem is (that's why i tend not to call
it a bug) that the legend symbol should not take the sizeunits meters
into account, because it actually does't make sense for the legend...
In the described case the legend would be perfect if it just could
take the symbol character and size appropriate for the legend key
size.

Cheers, Michael
