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