[mapserver-users] International characters in text paramater

[Espen Isaksen]

Didn't get it to work as it should.

This works:
TEXT "test"

This does not work(no text at all in the map):
TEXT "Lysløype"

If we do this
TEXT ("Lysløype")

mapserver does not understand the ASCII value and prints it out
exactly as typed.
