[mapserver-users] Encoding issues

[Tamas Szekeres]

Hi,

You might want to try with encoding="ISO-8859-6" assuming you have libiconv
compiled in.
The c# mapscript doesn't specify explicit conversion during the marshaling.
In this case I assume an unicode to Charset.Ansi conversion will
automatically takes place by default.

Best regards,

Tamas
