Show Big-5 with new version of GD

Description (last modified by hobu) 

The new version of GD has included the capability in
showing "Shift_JIS" (japanese) and "Big-5" (traditional chinese) fonts
with the new function gdImageStringFTEx, instead of gdImageStringFT.

It would be great if the next release of mapserver can include this
capability.
Or a patch for adding this capability will be greatly appreciated.

According to Daniel's advice in his reply mail.
We made a demo mapfile for testing including 
font files. But the size is too big to be attached.
Please download it from the link below:

I am sorry for making a mistake.
The font I provided is not for big-5 encoded.
Please download the related file again from
the link I provided. Thanks for your help again.

Sincerely,
  Pei-Hwao Li
