Jack, Been trying to send this message to the list, but it seems to disappear in a black hole. My message to you yesterday didn't appear either..... Tried both smtp and exchange servers!
Anyway, I'm also trying to work this problem out for some colleagues overseas. Previously I didn't manage. I have done some new experimenting, and I did get to see some Chinese annotations in my map-image. But for all I know, it said "ayooooh... major error" in Chinese..... Try the following: inside the class of the annotation, put this: LABEL TYPE TRUETYPE FONT arial-unicode-ms COLOR 0 0 0 SIZE 12 POSITION CL PARTIALS FALSE BUFFER 0 ENCODING GB2312 END Then inside your fontlist, put a reference to a Chinese font (mine maps to ARIALUNI.TTF). That reference must match the fonttype in the label definition. You may or may not have to turn off the STYLEITEM AUTO setting. I found this info on: http://www.foss4g.org/FOSS4G/modules.php?name=AvantGo&file=print&sid=2 If this works well for you, please let me know. regards, Jacob » -----Original Message----- » From: UMN MapServer Users List » [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack Ling » Sent: 9 November 2005 22:20 » To: [email protected] » Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] ROAD, STREET, BUILDING » NAMES DOES'NT APPEAR. » » Hi guys! » » » Thanks a lot everyone here.
