Copying what I wrote earlier this morning on the ka-map list (sorry for
those on both lists):
FYI there is an open MapServer ticket about this:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/956
The ticket even includes a patch that you may want to try. I'll try to
address this one for MapServer 5.2.

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.
