UTF-8 + FDO OGR Provider + Mapguide

[psergio]

Hi all,

I'm using the FDO OGR provider to connect Mapguide to my PostGreSQL 8.3 + Postgis database.
The database encoding is UTF-8,  but when i put the data in the map, the tooltips and the labels are displaying with incorrect characters.

Did FDO OGR provider DLL have any issue with the UTF-8 encoding or i forgot something!?

Thanks for your time.

Best regards,
Paulo

Hi Paulo,

The OGR provider uses locale-dependent string conversion, so that's why it's probably not working ok for pure UTF-8. I recompiled the DLL with a different string conversion call, and posted it at:

http://13-9.com/OGRProvider-3.3-utf8.zip

Give that one a try, it should handle UTF-8 correctly -- but I did not test it personally, because I don't have enough time today.

Traian

Hello Traian

I'm having problems with the OGR provider.
It happens that the geometry that I have in my database (PostGis) are not beeing displayed in the right position in MapGuide.
Example:  in my database I have a point with coordinates -63949,495217; 15467,134032; 0 but on MapGuide it’s displayed in -64008,282557; 15291.623095; 0.

The System coordinate in Mapguide is Datum73.ModPortgGrd and in PostGis I use EPSG: 27492.

Have you noticed some issue like that?

Best regards,
Paulo
