Dear Mapserver users,
I would like to use a character from the "Wingding" font as a symbol for
points on my map.
In my file with symbology definitions, I have defined this:
SYMBOL
NAME 'plane'
TYPE TRUETYPE
FONT wingding
CHARACTER ""
END
I have used 61440 + 33 as the character code as described in
http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/symbology/construction.html.
My list of font definitions contains:
arial c:\WINDOWS\Fonts\arial.ttf
wingding c:\WINDOWS\Fonts\wingding.ttf
The class of my layer looks like:
CLASS
COLOR 255 200 0
symbol "plane"
END
However, Mapserver displays the "square" (the typical "unknown
character" character). When I change the font to arial the character is
always "&" regardless of the character code! (I have also tried "!"
etc.) It seems only the first character "&" is taken from my symbol
definition instead of the whole definition "". When I use e.g.
CHARACTER "X"
then it works, but only for arial.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Greetings,
Arjen.
