Thanks a lot for this answer,
It's true that my question was conusing, but that's right I wanted to use the symbols of the font as true type symbols.
As for using these symbols instead of others, it's because we have a project both on ArcMap and Cartoweb and we would like to keep the same symbols as much as possible.
And finally, can we use the esri *.style files for mapserver?

Objet : [Cartoweb-users] RE: using esri font
Hi Guillaume,
First I was a little confused whether you where talking about symbols
or
labels. After opening ArcMap and double-checking I am guessing that you
wanted to use the symbols of that font as a true type symbol?
Vector symbols (small graphics like dots, squares, hash, signs etc) are
actually *.style files in ArcMap.
Further I infer that you where talking about the ESRI Cartography font
(this
seems to be the internal name for esri_1.ttf). I couldn't figure out
how to
get the subset of Latin 'Latin-1 Supplement' to display in ArcMap nor
how to
export it. Also when I looked at this font I was wondering why you
wanted to
use this font as symbols instead of regular symbols widely available.
Unfortunately I can't answer how to directly use a subset of that ESI
font
directly in mapserver. It may well be that the font is in a type that
mapserver can not use. It has to be in Unicode format (compare
http://umn.mapserver.ch/MapServer/en/sym_truetype.htm)
When checking with "Character Map" under windows
(start->Accessories->System
Tools) this font appears to be Unicode. Thus, I don't know what is
going on
with the subset (which I couldn't locate on my machine). The website
above
also mentions a "low cost program fontcreator which apparently may help
to
create your own font http://www.high-logic.com/products.html )
However here are several other "no cost" options
1. you could recreate the symbols as graphics yourself: e.g. place a
label
with all the symbols you need from that font in ArcMap and then copy
and
paste into your favorite graphics program. From there export to single
jpeg
or gif file for use as symbols in mapserver.
2. you could recreate the symbols as vector symbols for mapserver in
your
mapfile. Any of the symbols can be combined to create complex symbols.
e.g. http://umn.mapserver.ch/MapServer/en/sym_vector.htm
Here are some samples
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/symbologyexchange_vector/?searchterm

0.875 1
0.5 0.75

0.25 0.625
END
END
3. I completely misunderstood your question :)
Good luck

Hi all,
I would like to use ESRI fonts for my symbols, but a matter comes with
the
"subset". Actually in my case, in ArcMap, with the esri_1.ttf file I
can
choose 2 subset of symbols : 'Basic Latin' or 'Latin-1 Supplement'. But
when
I use this file in MapServer, I can only get the symbols from 'Basic
Latin',
whereas I would like the symbols from the other subset... Is there a
way to
fix this?
Thanks
G.

I based my project on demoCW3. Yes - initially the search was working
(before I did modify the tpl files a bit). Actually it is working right
now
in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox. That is why I was wondering
how
that could be related to the php_sqlite extension. Anyway, I
downloaded the
pecl php extensions for my php 5.0.5 and included
extension=php_pdo.dll and
extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll in php.ini (it appears that
"php_pdo_sqlite"
this is a synonym for "php_sqlite" extension). They load fine when I
test
with php_ini. After restarting Apache I am still getting the endless
Ajax
call and loading message (not in Internet Explorer though where
everything
works fine).
Thus, I am researching (without success yet :-( ) whether there is a
different cause for this ?
Here is my JST race debugger messages:
(by the way I deleted some of the panning elements in my tpl file - how
can
I get rid f the warnings below - like Warning: element pan_nw does not
exist!
e.g.)

Hi
now the plugin "search" is loaded by default in the demo and if you
used a
demo as basis for you new project, you will have that plugin loaded
too.
that plugin requires that you load the sqlite extension in your php.ini
simply uncomment the line extension=php_sqlite.so (on linux) or
extension=php_sqlite.dll (on windows) and restart apache.
or you can remove the search plugin from your project's client.ini
file, if
you dont need the search functionality
regards
Oliver

Subject: [Cartoweb-users] Ajax call starts endless "loading" loop
Hi All,
I have customized the layout templates for my cartoweb 3.4 project. I
did
run a query before I did some changes.
Every time I open the project in Firefox an Ajax call (see blow) is
posted
and seems to start an endless loop (Loading message never disappears).
I did run
cw3setup.php --install --base-url
http://localhost:81/sites/cartoweb3/htdocs/ --profile development
--project
ocla
cw3setup.php --clean
- also I rebot3ed my machine (did help either).
It seems that some cache never gets cleaned - or why would
ajaxActionRequest=Search.DoIt otherwise be triggered?
In Internet Explorer all works fine (for a rare change).
Thanks
Karsten
