[mapserver-users] Re: [mapserver-dev] problem with mapserver

[thomas bonfort]

you create it, it maps font names, used with the LABEL->FONT keyword,
with the full path to your .tff font.
e.g.

arial /usr/local/share/fonts/arial.ttf
arialbold /usr/local/share/fonts/arialbf.ttf
...

this is all in the docs... http://mapserver.org/mapfile/fontset.html
http://mapserver.org/mapfile/label.html
