Hi Steve,
Hi Jeff,

the workaround of jeff is working.

I think, this is a bug, but I don't know how to generate a bug !

Could anybody do this for me ? (Only if there are more people who think, this is a bug !)

Thanks very much,
Herbert

Betreff: Re: [mapserver-users] Rendering of Static Text is different usinggd or AGG ?


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 © 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 "©"

Hi list,

Using* gd* the declaration "©"renders the "copyright"-Sign:

LAYER
  NAME "copyright"
  REQUIRES ..
  ...

  FEATURE
     POINTS
      3 10
     END
   END
...

  CLASS
*     TEXT "© 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 ""© 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
