[maplab-users] Labeling issue

[Zak James]

Hi Kevin,

Your mapscript looks to be configured ok, but that's not a guarantee 
that the truetype support is working. Does the tutorial mapfile load ok 
and display in the preview window? You might also consider downloading 
the gmap test application from maptools. You can turn on and off labels 
and if it breaks (i.e. no map image) only when label layers are on, you 
know it's a freetype problem.
