<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=929013907-28042011>I had
some trouble with getting correct character encoding to work with MapServer
and with german Umlauten (ÄÜÖ and ß).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=929013907-28042011>For a
PostGIS layer I got it fixed setting the<SPAN lang=EN> permanent variable
'client encoding' to LATIN1 does the trick ;) The db otherwise is utf8 ,
the system german locale (which has impact really anyway for he most

<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=929013907-28042011><SPAN
lang=EN>However I have now trouble also with labels from a shape file based
MapServer WMS which show screwed up as some symbols . The attributes are

server - however something must be different on the new one since that is just
came up with the move. Is there anything I can look for to coax MapServer to
correctly encode label test annotations ?</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
