[maplab-users] Starting Tutorial

[Paul Spencer]

In the map object are two values you may need to edit:

FONTSET
SYMBOLSET

FONTSET points to a text file that enumerates the fonts that are 
available to mapserver.  What needs to go in this file depends on 
several things, including the version of mapserver/mapscript you are 
using and if you are using freetype 1.x or 2.x.  If FONTSET is pointing 
to the right location, make sure that the font files are in the right 
place and valid files (not corrupted).  If you know that you are using 
FreeType 2.x and mapscript 3.6.x then you may need to put the absolute 
path to the font files in the fonts.txt file (starting with /).  This 
problem was fixed in version 3.7 dev at some point.

HTH,
