[mapserver-users] French characters in a map file

[Debbie Pagurek]

Hi everyone,
I am trying to translate one of my applications into French and I am running into problems with French characters in my mapfile, and the legend generation.

see this excerpt from my mapfile layer:

  CLASS
    EXPRESSION '0' #dummy class for title
    NAME 'Écozones'
    COLOR 255 255 255
    OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
  END  # CLASS
  CLASS
    EXPRESSION '1'
    NAME 'Cordillère arctique'
    COLOR 204 255 255
  END  # CLASS

The first class name Écozones appears properly in my legend, but the second one, Cordillère arctique, does not.  Please see the attached image of the resulting legend.

So... does anyone know how to get French accents to appear properly in a legend??

Thanks,
D. Pagurek
