Re: [mapserver-users] Legend difference in 5.6.1 and 6.4.1
Could you check if the issue in 6.4 is related to the RESOLUTION parameter in your mapfile (i.e. remove it and re-run)? Mapserver 7.0 should be production ready unless you're using its remaining blocking issue (TIME filters with MSSQL backends). -- thomas On 29 April 2015 at 22:34, mapserver mapser...@markus-spring.de wrote: Am 28.04.2015 um 08:11 schrieb thomas bonfort: Are you using the GD or AGG renderer?

For me the question is if (or when) 7.0.0 is production quality already, and not only the mapserver itself but also mapcache, as the internet map services of the City of Munich are going to use that for the background maps.

Re: [mapserver-users] Legend difference in 5.6.1 and 6.4.1
Jörg, 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.

Re: [mapserver-users] Legend difference in 5.6.1 and 6.4.1 (mapserver)
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.
