Hi Aimee, I had a similar problem a while ago and I was seeing weird boxes
and characters on my labels so I was trying to use ENCODING in my mapfile to
solve this, since "iconv -l" command listed greek as well. Eventually I found
out that if I install the fonts for my language (greek), and then reference
them correctly in my mapfile with the fonts.list file, it is working perfectly
without having to use ENCODING in my mapfile. My fonts are truetype fonts so if
you try this, add "TYPE truetype" in your label object. My Mapserver version
is 7.0.1. Hope this helps.
Regards,Stefanos

Hi
I have installed on mapserver a planet file imported using imposm3.
Maps all ok, however, for non english countries,(Middle East/Russia/China etc)
the place names are in the local language
(Arabic/Russian or for China, square boxes).
Is this normal?, or have I messed up somewhere in a mapping?
Thanks
Aimee
mapserver 7.0.3 is the server release.
