[mapserver-users] OGR Virtual Format and character encoding

[Chris Jackson]

All

One thought I did have, if the characters where html encoded in the SQL
table (e.g. ü as ü) is there anyway to get MapServer to render them
correctly again in a label?  I guess OGR can only deal with UTF-8 encoded
characters (I am using nvarchar fields, but in an ISO collation in SQL 2005
- not v.UTF-8 friendly I think!)

Thanks
Chris
