[mapserver-users] International characters in text paramater

[Espen Isaksen]

Tried a bit more, and strange things happen. Sometimes Mapserver just
runs for a long time without creating a map. Other times it creates a
map, but the letters are totally wrong. When using 248 for ø I do not
get any text at all. Using 156 for æ I get this:

Appreciate it if anybody knows why this happens.
