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

[Fawcett, David (MNIT)]

You don't mention if you have a fontset file or an associated entry in your mapfile.

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?
