[OpenLayers-Users] Problem with fonts

Mon Dec 24 12:04:19 EST 2007

Dear friends

I face a problem with fonts in a mapserver+openlayers application I am developping. 
I need greek fonts (ISO-8859-7) and the application fails to show them when it 
retrieves a string from either the template of the wms layer via OpenLayers.Util.getElement
request.

Specifically I have defined the following...

the .html  [openlayer application] 
============================================================

<HTML>

<HEAD><TITLE>ΑΤΛΑΝΤΑΣ ΑΚΤΗΣ (ΠΕΠ Κρήτης 2006-08) - Εφαρμογή σε OpenLayers</TITLE>
<!--Template version 1.02--><LINK href="icons/iacm.css" type=text/css rel=stylesheet>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-7">

...

    map.events.register('click', map, function (e) {
            OpenLayers.Util.getElement('nodeList').innerHTML = "Ανάκτηση θεματικών δεδομένων... Παρακαλώ περιμένετε ...";
            var url =  dhmoi_irakliou.getFullRequestString({
                            REQUEST: "GetFeatureInfo",
                            EXCEPTIONS: "application/vnd.ogc.se_xml",
                            BBOX: dhmoi_irakliou.map.getExtent().toBBOX(),
                            X: e.xy.x,
                            Y: e.xy.y,
                            INFO_FORMAT: 'text/html',
                            QUERY_LAYERS: dhmoi_irakliou.params.LAYERS,
                            WIDTH: dhmoi_irakliou.map.size.w,
                            HEIGHT: dhmoi_irakliou.map.size.h});
            OpenLayers.loadURL(url, '', this, setHTML);
            Event.stop(e);
      }); 
...

  <div id="nodeList" style="position:absolute; top:520px; background-color: red; font-size: 10pt;"></div>

the .map file
=======================================================
...

       END
    END
  END
...

the template file ("c:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/test/dhmoi_irakliou.html")
==========================================================

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-7">
</HEAD>

<a href="http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserver.exe?mode=indexquerymap&qlayer=dhmoi_irakliou&shapeindex=[shpidx]&shpext=[shpext_esc]&mapext=shape&map=[map]">
</a>
***ελληνικό κείμενο***: [NAMF_GR],.., [POP_01] 

</HTML>

============================

the [NAMF_GR] is an attribute in greek - however the applications fails to type it in greek (little squares are shown instead). The [POP_01]
is a number and it's shown correctly. The "***ελληνικό κείμενο***:" is a text in greek and it isn't shown either. 

Should you have any suggestion please let me know

Thanks in advance and seasong greetings!

Emmanuel.
