Linnet,

I think the QGIS mapfile export feature has trouble exporting symbols 
and fonts; I recommend that you follow the example in the MS4W add-on 
package that I referred to earlier.  You can use the fonts and symbols 
in that example in your own mapfile.  (since I think I helped you 
through another issue on this email list before, you will be already 
familiar with using the shp2img commandline utility for testing your 
mapfile)
