[Mapserver-users] Re: [Mapserver-users][SOLUTION] Error when using labels TYPE=truetype

[Björn Platzen]

Hi all,

maybe someone has the same problems with Mapserver 3.6.5, GD 2.0.7 on 
Linux, here is the solution:

<snip>
The point is,
right now, the ONLY way to really make it work is to refer fonts with a
full path, like:

fontset '/home/mapserv/fonts/fonts.txt'
</snip>

Greets,

Bjoern
