[mapserver-users] shape, SLD and Latin-1

[Guillaume Sueur]

Hi list,

I'm facing a character set problem.
People are uploading shapefiles onto a web platform. The shapefiles are 
then displayed via mapserver, using SLD for styling. On some shapes, 
there is a specific pattern to follow, and I use Rules in my SLD for 
this. Until here, everything is fine.
But if the field on which I build the rule on contains specific 
characters (éè...), even if the same is written into the SLD file, it 
doesn't match.
Where should I start my investigation from, knowing I don't control the 
upcoming shapefiles, but I can transform them ? Is there a common 
character set I could apply to both DBF and SLD for mapserver to match 
the values ?

Thanks !
