[mapguide-users] Cyrillic alphabet/Encoding problem

[Stefan Dalakov]

I would suggest that the data in the SHP file is encoded using the 
so-called DOS-cyrillic code page. I do not remember now the exact 
code-page name, but I can come back to this later. At least this works 
in my case.
Have a look at http://www.bgmapguide.com/mapguide/rila/rila.php , it is 
using mgos 1.2 but I don't think this makes any difference.
