Hi There,
Have you looked at the PostArabic posgresql module
(http://dcmms.sourceforge.net/postarabic.php).
Not sure if Farsi and Arabic text are treated similarly but If that
was the case, you can load your data into a postgres/postgis DB, install
the postarabic module and use str_reverse and the shape_arabic functions
available to display your postgis layer with the labels in Mapserver.
Best Regards,

Hi,
I'm trying to render some Farsi (Persian) labels on my map. As you may
know, Farsi words are written from right to left, just like Hebrew.
I've changed the label's encoding to 'Windows-1256' in my mapfile and
I'm using TrueType fonts. Farsi letters have appeared. But the problem
is that letters are in revers order and letters are not joining properly.
Of course reversing the letters' order in database will cause the right
order of them when rendering the map. But I wanna know if there's any
other way to show farsi labels in right order with no joining problems.
[Actually, I'm using Ka-Map on the top of Mapserver to render my maps on
the web. Ka-Mappers told me that my problem is a kind of Mapserver problems]
Any new ideas are welcomed.
Thanx.
