Thanks for the confirmation and the info! I was actually using the
sample application you referenced as a starting point. It turns out that
I screwed up my "fonts.txt" file which was causing my problem. Once I
knew that ms4w had freetype support I knew the problem must be user
error! :-)
Thanks again!
Nick

The answer is yes. But you can verify this by executing mapserv -v at
the command prompt (after setting setenv.bat) and looking for
"SUPPORTS=FREETYPE" in the output, or also going to
http://127.0.0.1/phpinfo_mapscript.php in a web browser and looking in
the "MapScript" section for that same output string.
Also, you can download the "PHP/MapScript Sample Application" addon MS4W
package from
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=downloads.html, which uses
truetype fonts for labelling, to use as a guide.
