How can be national characters correctly displayed as layer/feature labels. In DBF (through Excel and one other DBF viewer) I can see national characters which are in CP1250. When I display map, this characters are visible as strange characters. I tried with copying ttf file (arial.ttf) from Windows fonts to the MapServer ../fonts directory too. But without success.

My whole installation is on Win XP.

What should I do?
