[mapserver-users] Fwd: Strange behavior for a truetype symbol render..

[Martin Ouellet]

2 new elements.

->The problem occur only in FireFox (OK in IE dans Chrome)
->The problem is related to the wingding true font (no problem with arial)

Did someone experiment similar behavior?

Hi there,

I have two symbol definition in my mapfile:

    SYMBOL
        NAME        'baisse'
        TYPE        TRUETYPE
        FONT        "windg3"
        #CHARACTER   "È"
        CHARACTER   "È"
    END

    SYMBOL
        NAME        'hausse'
        TYPE        TRUETYPE
        FONT        "windg3"
        #CHARACTER   "Ç"
        CHARACTER   "Ç"
    END

While moving the map around (and without making any changes in the mapfile
or in js code), sometime Mapserver is drawing the arrow up symbol (hausse),
and the other time, the arrow down symbol (baisse). See attachment for this
strange display. In both case, the symbol who's not displayed correctly is
replaced with a little box in the center of the circle.

Here the 2 WMS call behind it (identical but BBOX is different)
