Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the great work in developing MapServer 5.0!

Our chief engineer, Makoto Niwa, found 2 problems in handling ENCODING 
parameter in the latest version of MS5.0. He made patches for these two 
each as attaced.

** ENCODING parameter in LEGEND is neglected
Fixed >> maplegend.diff

** Characters are garbled in SVG rendering
Fixed >> mapsvg.diff


I hope they are useful for the MapServer 5.0 development team.

Cheers,

I have committed a slightly modified version of the maplegend.c patch in r6613

[dmorissette]

The mapsvg patch (in r6614) removes the call to msGetEncodedString in msDrawTextSVG (called by msDrawLabelCacheSVG) since the 5.0 source code has been changed so that the text has already been converted to UTF-8 before being added to the label cache.

Fixed with a final patch to fix the retrun value of msDrawLegend() in r6615.
