We're in the process of upgrading from MapServer 5.4 to 6.0 and, after following the migration guide from 5.4->5.6->6.0, almost everything is working fine. The one exception is truetype font rendering. Text in 6.0 doesn't render well - it's blocky and distorted. Has anyone encountered this change in their MapServer upgrade?
Here's an example of a legend request in 5.4: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/file/n6555935/legend_5_4.png and the same legend request in 6.0: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/file/n6555935/legend_6_0.png This result is using the following legend definition for both: LEGEND STATUS ON KEYSIZE 19 14 KEYSPACING 6 4 LABEL TYPE truetype FONT "arial" SIZE 10 END TEMPLATE "../htdocs/legendTemplate.html" END In a WMS request, the result is blockier with a broken outline and larger text. Using 5.4: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/file/n6555935/wms_5_4.png and 6.0: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/file/n6555935/wms_6_0.png ...using this label definition in each of the layer classes: LABEL TYPE TRUETYPE FONT [FONTNAME_M] SIZE [FONTSIZE] POSITION cc ANTIALIAS FALSE FORCE TRUE COLOR 0 0 0 OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 235 END I should point out we have included "DEFRESOLUTION 72" in the MAP section which fixed our vector rendering, and the only reason why the city symbols are larger in the 6.0 screenshot is that they're also based on a font. -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Font-rendering-in-MapServer-6-0-tp6555935p6555935.html Sent from the Mapserver - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
