No. Unfortunately none of the sites are accessible from the outside. The best I can do are screenshots.
I attached two examples from the same Linux server. One is from the FGS95
(MS54) environment and the other (MS60) is under the "main" system environment.
Both samples are of Arial Narrow 7 point, and the image is rendered using the
following output format:
OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME 'agg_q'
DRIVER AGG/PNG
IMAGEMODE RGB
FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_FORCE=ON"
FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_DITHER=OFF"
FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_COLORS=256"
END
I freely confess to not knowing much about the various output formats. This one
I picked from the list some time long ago. I tried other formats also, both 8-
and 24-bit and both the AGG and Cairo drivers, but I have not noticed any clear
differences.
Thanks for any suggestions and I'll be glad to collect additional information
if needed.
Johan.

Is that test case available someplace?

Thank you for the suggestion however I regret to report that there is no
discernible difference in the appearance of the text when using cairopng in the
Windows environment. I have also created a test case using MS6 on the same
Linux server (but outside the FGS95 environment) as my MS5.4 and the text is
rendered exactly the same as on the Windows platform, with the same reduced
legibility.
Thanks,
Johan.

Johan,
Have you tried "cairopng" as an alternative to AGG?
Regards,
Donald

Hello All:
I am in the process of migrating from MapServer 5.4 (FGS95 on Linux) to
MapServer 6 (MS4W3 on Windows Server 2008 R2). Most things are migrating well
however I have a peculiar TrueType font rendering issue where the readability
on the new system is far less than on the old system. I have attached two
screenshots taken at the same scale to illustrate the issue. In these images
the parish labels are Arial Bold Italic 6 pt., the interstate shields are Arial
8 pt., and US highway shields are Arial Narrow 7 pt. The TTF files and the MAP
files were copied directly from the old system to the new system. I have tried
with antialias on and off in the label definition and with a couple of
different AGG image output formats but there are no visible differences.
I would really appreciate any suggestions or pointers where to investigate.
Thanks!
