[maplab-users] Labeling issue - Solved

[kgrootendorst at baird.com]

Zak,
I found the solution to my problem.  I needed to specify the absolute path 
to my font in my fonts.txt file (eg. C:\WINNT\Fonts\arial.ttf)
Once I did that I was able to view true type fonts.

Kevin,

I'm afraid you've reached the limit of my windows mapserver knowledge. 
Maybe someone else on the list can help, but otherwise I suggest that 
you switch to the MS4W package. Is there some reason that it isn't 
practical to do so?

You might get more help on the mapserver-users list since this isn't 
just a problem with maplab. That list has far more subscribers.
