character encoding shape file with german umlaute<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=929013907-28042011>Hi
List,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=929013907-28042011>I
had some trouble with getting correct character encoding to work with
MapServer and with german Umlauten (ÄÜÖ and ß).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=929013907-28042011>For
a PostGIS layer I got it fixed setting the<SPAN lang=EN> permanent
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).</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Arial><SPAN
class=929013907-28042011><SPAN lang=EN></SPAN></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Arial><SPAN
class=929013907-28042011><SPAN lang=EN>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 ?</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
