Since the switch from MS4+GD to MS5+AGG every layer being rendered with
a true type font for an icon is being displayed with the incorrect
character.
In the TTF file we use (which is definitely Unicode), the character code
for the nuclear symbol is: Á The character that is actually being
displayed when the AGG renderer is used is the one that is mapped to the
AMPERSAND... the deer head.
Shortening the character specification seems to read only the first
character given. I've tried taking out the ampersand and it then
displays the truck icon which is mapped to the POUND SIGN. If I take
that out it displays the character that is mapped to the digit ONE.
The nuclear symbol is mapped to A ACUTE. I've tried inserting that and
it just renders the character mapped to the letter A.
This same behavior occurs with other TTF files, as well, showing the
first character in the string, as opposed to the one we intend. Has the
behavior of TTF symbols changed in MS5, and if so could someone point
out the new syntax to me?
