[Mapserver-users] Umlauts in labels

[Oliver Wesp]

Hi Björn,
we're using labels that contain umlauts without any problems at all. 
We're using ms 3.6.3 on Win2000, Solaris and on both platforms the 
umlauts display fine. We're using bitmap and truetype fonts. Data 
sources are shapefiles, ArcSDE-Layer and layer from oracle spatial. In 
   neither of these settings we have problems using umlauts. Don't know 
if the problem is ms 3.5 but have you checked your datasources. Most of 
the times I had such trouble the umlauts where screwed up in the DBF of 
a Shapefile.

greetings
Oliver
