Data containing anything beyond standard 7-bit ascii characters gets improperly handled. For example, french accented characters in the demo data come out missing on maps generated by the demo, or corrupted when output through WMS' GetFeatureInfo.

This has only been tested and observed with shapefile data, I can't speak as to whether this might also be a problem with PostGIS.

My memory is fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure this worked at some point?
