[mapserver-users] JPG is bad rendered in some computers ?

[Vincent Blanqué]

Jukka,

All these links work well !

But I still have problem when I connect the WMS from the client ArcGIS
and QGis: only PNG is available in the 'bad' computer ! I could try with
OpenJump but I am quite sure the problem will be the same.

Thanks for your help...

Vincent
