Hmm, no known problems, but there may be. Mapnik uses Freetype2 behind the scenes so if there are windows bugs we may benefit from searching freetype mailing lists. The only obvious thing is to make sure you are getting the right "face_name" which don't always match the font file name (though I bet you know this): http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/UsingCustomFonts#a2Figureouttheexactface_name Dane > Cheers, > /Bud > _______________________________________________ > Mapnik-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
