Since you folks are usually so good on this forum, the lack of response to my previous reply suggests there is something wrong with my question. I'm guessing there's something about this that I just don't get which is glaringly obvious to anyone who knows anything about it. I'm hoping someone can help me understand what might be causing the discrepancy I am seeing between our two different environments and further, where to look to verify those differences exist.
In the map file in question no DEFRESOLUTION is set; so, as I understand the documentation I have found, it defaults to 72. The RESOLUTION is set in the map file to 96. Since the DEFRESOLUTION and RESOLUTION are different, "the symbology in the layer definitions will be adjusted by a factor corresponding to RESOLUTION/DEFRESOLUTION. More specifically, this is done by multiplying the layer->scalefactor value by the resolution/defresolution ratio in msPrepareImage()." Finally, the documentation suggests that these parameters will affect size (for symbols and labels)...sure sounds like it's related to my problem. However, as the map file is the same on both machines (extracted directly from our source control), there has to be something different about the MapServer configuration itself that is causing the factor computed "by multiplying the layer->scalefactor value by the resolution/defresolution ratio" to come up with different values on the different machines and drawing the symbols and labels different sizes. Somewhere along the way, some value is being used that is different and I'm trying to identify what and where that might be so I can make sure they are the same. If any of this suggests that I have a completely wrong understanding of this stuff, please let me know where I can find a more detailed explanation. Or, if this is the wrong track, I'd appreciate being pointed in another direction. As it is at the moment, I'm completely stuck.
