Hello!=20

I am new on MapServer, though it is so well structured that I do not =
face many difficulties exploring and understanding all the functionality =
that it provides.=20

Basically I have installed the MapServer on Windows XP and furthermore I =
have also installed the php/MapScript. I am using Apache 2 and php =
4.3.1. These days I am reading the class reference of the mapscript and =
furthermore I am trying to underastand in depth the structure of the =
.map file and the interface between the various classes.=20

In order to test and work on the service, I have a few shape files =
exported from ArcGIS 8.3.=20

Although I have my map working and I am going deeper, I have one big =
problem witch I can not overcome. I cannot illustrate greek characters =
(on the label of a layer, stored on its .dbf file). I have tryed to =
illustrate labels in English and everything worked fine! So, I suppose =
the problem is on the non-english language support.=20

Any ideas?

Thank you for your time

Andreas
