[Mapbender-users] Load WMS: Problem with special characters

[beyer at multimediaplan.at]

Hello,

sorry for the late answer... I was on holiday last week. :-)

Thanks for the advice. I am going to check whether my database
and the WMS are using UTF-8. My Mapbender version is 2.4.2
(and, unfortunately, I cannot upgrade because I need TreeConfGDE
which does not work in higher versions).

Best regards,
Clemens
