[mapserver-users] font support problem

[William Kyngesburye]

Freetype is not the problem.  I already figured it out - my gd font support needs -liconv and configure is not adding it to the gd test.  It looks like the mapserver configure doesn't get the libs from the gdlib-config script but makes a common guess.

I thought I had this working in the past, but it's possible I only recently added iconv support to my gd. I forget.

The equator is so long, it could encircle the earth completely once.
