[mapserver-users] Encoding problem

Hello everybody.
I'm having a small issue with truetype and encoding in greek. Instead of normal letters I'm getting weird symbols or even shapes. 
iconv -l | grep {GREEK |  ISO-8859-7 | WINDOWS-1253}          are all present in the system. 

My Mapserver version: 
MapServer version 7.0.0 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=KML SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=CAIRO SUPPORTS=ICONV SUPPORTS=XMP SUPPORTS=FRIBIDI SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=SOS_SERVER SUPPORTS=FASTCGI SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

My LABEL object in my code is the following:
           LABEL               TYPE truetype               FONT arial               SIZE 6               PARTIALS TRUE               ENCODING GREEK           END
I also tried ENCODING ISO-8859-7 and WINDOWS-1253. But getting symbols instead of letters. The closest to human readable is with encoding UTF-8... but still. 
I'm probably missing something here.What is the problem ?
