National fonts in labels

[Andre M. Winter - Carto.net]

hi,

i don't know about winXp and CP1250, but i had similar problems on 
linux/postres/perl. the problem were the missing declaration in the 
output html files (nikos just gave an example) AND the encoding of the 
acting perl-files. i switched anything to UTF-8 and now anyting works 
fine. UTF-8 should do your job as well btw...

andré
