I try to adapt as much as possible to anything standard, but esp with regards to fonts, less is standardized that one wishes, and i want once and for all to get rid of missing glyphs depending on what cd i mounted. Actually, it would already help a lot if mapfiles would be structured, properly named, etc Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------
