Hello List,

With my legend font I am having the exact same problem on the exact same 
version of MapServer.  In the mean time I have reverted back to BITMAP font but 
would like to continue using TRUETYPE.  I have also tried multiple variation of 
Legend definition and am currently copying my old .ttf files from our previous 
server.  Any insight to this issue is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric Weisbender

J?rg,

looks like this is a minefield :(

Strange enough, using bitmap fonts the class names don't get truncated, but 
then I don't have the beloved German umlauts. This sure enough looks like a 
miscalculation of the space the average letter of a proportional font needs and 
so the space allocated for the class name is too small.

Don't know why it worked in 5.6.1 but broke in the transition to 6.4.1
