Hello everyone,

I built Mapnik last week from svn (r813) on a 64bit RHEL5 box and want
to be able to render OSM maps with English, Chinese, Japanese and
Korean characters. I have put a font for each language in
/usr/local/lib64/mapnik/lib64/fonts and checked out the contents of
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/mapnik to test
whether the characters appeared correctly. When I run
generate_image.py, an image is created and everything looks fine
except squares appear where CJK characters should be. I can replace
the font used in the osm.xml to get one language's characters to
appear but really want to keep Dejavu fonts as default and get
fallback support working for the other languages when Dejavu doesn't
have the character.

Is there something special I need to do to get Mapnik to look in other
fonts in the fonts directory for missing characters? I've had a bit of
a look around the Mapnik wiki and mailing list archives for answers
but no dice.

Cheers,

Jarrod
