Hi, 5 year ago, i have faced this problem when autocad texts translated into mapinfo, the characters mostly appears like
gh asdwt etc, i write a mb program to convert each letter to arabic. ( for ex.) Q -> chr$(178) H -> chr$(218) To display the font choose arial Arabic It wil appear as arabic. But there is another problem. Some autocad fonts uses different char mapping This is the way , For DGN files there it is more strange , because first you must chaneg the side of the letter from left to right For ex. GHTY to YTHG Then you can make char mappings. Regards. Ahmet DABANLI Basarsoft.

I am having trouble importing Arabic text from AutoCAD into MapInfo. It reads fine in ACAD (2002), but when saved as DXF and imported into MapInfo (V8.0), it doesn't make any sense. Are there any tricks I should be aware of when dealing with Arabic text? I am using an English Win XP unit with Arabic support installed, but without success. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
