Hi
I posted a couple of weeks ago and have not been able to solve my problem
with international text characters not displaying properly..
I am using a shapefile with text fields encoded in LATIN1, and am almost
certain that the truetype font I am using to label supports these characters.
Can anyone help? I stuck..
I'm thinking it must have something to do with either the font, libiconv, or
ms4w - which I used to set up mapserver. Has anyone else experienced
similar problems with ms4w?
I am setting up the the layer as follows:
#Towns layer
LAYER
NAME "bart_caps2"
GROUP "twn"
STATUS ON
DATA "twn_p"
TYPE POINT

#end metadata

#END LAYER
Thanks
