Re: [mapserver-dev] Re: [mapserver-users] Rendering of Static Text is different using gd or AGG ?

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Thanks Paul and Thomas,

Thomas just closed it as dup of #2403.
I should have tried it on trunk, but didn't have a build conveniently 
available.

Jeff,

This is a good work around, but I think we need to ask the questions:

 What is the expected behavior?
 Is this a bug, should it be a bug?
 Should this behavior be documented?
 Should this be bugged for 5.2 freeze?

Clearly some code is translating the &copy; for the GD renderer.

Adding cc: mapserver-dev, let me know If you want to to generate a bug based
on this and assign it to 5.2

What about using your operating system's character set?  For example on
windows pressing ALT-0169 gives the copyright sign, and on MAC pressing
OPTION-G.  So your mapfile snippet is:    TEXT "(c)"

Hi list,

Using* gd* the declaration "&copy;"renders the "copyright"-Sign:

LAYER
 NAME "copyright"
 REQUIRES ..
 ...

 FEATURE
    POINTS
     3 10
    END
  END
   ...

 CLASS
*     TEXT "&copy; xxx" *
   LABEL
     TYPE TRUETYPE
     FONT 'arial'
     SIZE 9
     POSITION cr
     COLOR 0 0 0
     OUTLINECOLOR  255 255 254
   END
 END
 END # LAYER



But using agg, the text ""&copy; xxx" is rendered in the map.

Please lokk at the examples !

Does anybody know,
how to render the html-code like done in gd ?

Does anybody know another way to render signs like "copyright"  with gd ?

Thanks very much

greetings
Herbert
