Re: [mapserver-users] problem using some fonts on pdf output

José, I think it has to do with font embedding in the output pdf. Looking at the source code, Mapserver appears to embed fonts used for symbols, but not for text labels. Brent Fraser José María Michia wrote: Hi all. I have a mapfile, with some layers, with labels. I wish to use two differ

Hi, Some general comments, not juat related to mapserver setup... I think your peformance is likely to be more raster limited than vector, but apart from fast-cgi you might try using jpg's or png's with world files instead of geotiffs. Much smaller image file sizes (but two files to access) so

[mapserver-users] Hiding map= from URL with FastCGI

[mapserver-users] Scalebar vs Numeric scale

But the numeric scale match with the graphics if the resolution is correct. I search and discovered the exist 2 type of resolution: the monitor dpi and the font dpi. Is easy to get the userś font dpi. If they are equal (most of the case) we can get the correct resolution and send it to mapserver.

I think serving pre-cached tiles with TileCache running under FastCGI should improve your response times considerably. Roger -- PS - Give send an update if you try any of these. On Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 8:00 AM, Léveillé, James < james.levei...@mtq.gouv.qc.ca> wrote: > Here is a message publishe
