[mapserver-users] TYPE/FONT/SIZE breaks labels

[Michael McInnis]

Mapservers!

I have bailed on dynamically generating labels and fell back to a .map based solution and may have found the primary problem. If I enable TYPE or FONT or SIZE in the LABEL section my map fails to display. I installed Truetype fonts on my Ubuntu system on Friday. 

Does anyone know why the fonts will not function?

LAYER
        CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS
        NAME airports
        CONNECTION "host=xxxx dbname=xxxx user=xxxx password=xxxx port=xxxx"

        #DATA "geom From airports" 
        DATA "geom From (select a.icao, geom From airports a left join airportdata e on a.icao = e.icao where e.icao Is Not Null) as subquery using unique icao using srid=4326" 
        STATUS ON
