[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#366836: perl-mapscript: missing font causes segfault

[Gabor Kiss]

Package: perl-mapscript
Version: 4.4.1-2
Severity: normal

If a mapfile refers to a font that is missing from the FONTSET file
a SIGSEGV occurs.

Contrary to this mapserv binary handles missing font problem
well and displays an error message:
  msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Requested font (sans) not found.
