I have similar problem with Latvian characters but it is connected with
encoding.
First I got not correct display of Latvian characters. That problem I solved
by using so called Rim fonts,
because the similar problem and solution was with ArcView 3.x.

But when I tried to make queries, I found that apparently my current Windoze
encoding does not fully
compatible with older Rim fonts encoding.
I have no problem with strings, that includes long letters, but when I used
soft letters mapserver does
not return any results.

Is there any solution for this problem?

Thanks
Janeks

  Subject: [Mapserver-users] French caracters in querybyattributes

  Hello,

  I have hade some problems with french caracters.
  First when I read the results of a query this caracters are not correct. I
have solve this problem by modify the fonts encoding to ISO-8859-1. Thus,
now, I can make a query and read the results correctly.
  But, I always have a problem with the caracter '. I make a query to find
the town "Braine l'Alleud" and I always have no records. I have try with
string comparaison et regular mapserver expression but it always the same
problem.

  Thanks,
  Gheysen Thibaut
