Hi List, I had some trouble with getting correct character encoding to work with MapServer and with german Umlauten (ÄÜÖ and ß). For a PostGIS layer I got it fixed setting the 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 part). 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 showing correctly inside the dbf table. The same layers just 'worked' on the old 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 ? I tried setting ENCODING 'LATIN1' in the label to no avail .. Cheers Karsten
