MessageHi Dejan,
  the truetype fonts uses unicode internally. So the easiest way to get
proper font in mapserver is convert the label texts into unicode (UTF8)
strings.

  I can't get some special characters to be displayed as my label text. I am
using Windows 1250 codepage. I have checked the following:

  - my dbf file is in Windows 1250 codepage
  - the font I am using to display the labels (Arial) is in Windows 1250
codepage

  Can somebody tell me what am I doing wrong?

  Thanks

  Regards

  Dejan Gambin
