[maplab-users] mapedit preview and freetype

[Zak James]

When you specify that Mapserver is to be built --with-php, it may use  
the gd library bundled with php (in the php ext directory). This  
version does not automatically get built with ttf support, even when  
php is compiled with ttf. You can get around this by specifying your  
system's gd library in the php build and/or the mapserver build (i.e.  
configure --with-gd=<system gd directory>).
