[mapserver-users] Using fallback fonts?

[thomas bonfort]

it's possible in mapserver since version 6.2 :
http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-80.html . Note that
there's a hardcoded limit of 4 fallbacks font (1 main font + 4
fallbacks).  In mapserver 7.0 this limit will be lifted, and it will
also be possible to prioritize which font to use for a specific script
("script" is more or less equivalent to "language")
