[ms4w-users] Help: not find fonts

[Jeff McKenna]

hmm this is an interesting one.

The fontlist is definitely found, otherwise a different error would be 
displayed.  Have you tried to use other fonts in that fonts directory? 
If this was linux it would sound like a permissions problem...

How about moving the fonts to a different location and changing the 
fontset path, and referring to different fonts...?

Does this same problem occur when trying to view the GMap Phpmapscript 
sample application mapfile?  (it's another MS4W application at 
http://www.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/gmap_ms4w_ms46.zip)
