 Yes, talk to me:)

As a DejaVu maintainer, we welcome anyone who wants to implement 
Japanese and Chinese :-) , you'll probably make many people happy (and 
also some unhappy...)

But as I don't see that happening soon, I suggest implementing a fall 
back mechanism. Bonus points for adding a language aware mechanism 
which chooses different fonts for Chinese, Japanese and Korean, and 
different ones for normal Arabic, Persian and Urdu :-)

[OSM-talk] Japanese place names not rendered in Mapnik

2008-02-11 Thread David Ebling
Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but Japanese
isn't being rendered in Mapnik properly - I am just
seeing a rectangle for each character.

eg

Anyone know what to do about this?

Thanks,

Dave
