*Subject:* character encoding shape file with german umlaute
Hi List,
I had some trouble with getting correct character encoding to work
with MapServer and with german Umlauten (ÄÜÖ and ß).
For a PostGIS layer I got it fixed setting thepermanent variable
'client encoding' to LATIN1 does the trick ;) The db otherwise is
utf8 , the system german locale (which has impact really anyway for
he most part).
However I have now trouble also with labels from a shape file based
MapServer WMS which show screwed up as some symbols . The attributes
are showing correctly inside the dbf table. The same layers just
'worked' on the old server - however something must be different on
the new one since that is just came up with the move. Is there
anything I can look for to coax MapServer to correctly encode label
test annotations ?
I tried setting
ENCODING 'LATIN1'
in the label to no avail ..
Cheers
Karsten
