Probably a bug ;-). There has been considerable effort in support national characters in mapserver lately, although it might not have been ported back to the pdf output writer. Please check that the environment (LANG, LC_*) used by shp2img reflects *exactly* the encoding used to create the dbf/shp files. I.e.: if you created the shp files in UTF-8 and then have the ISO8859-? encoding, when rendering with shp2img it is quite possible that national chars become mangled. Umberto > > Maciek >
