Hi all.
I'm new to Mapserver. I want to know if Mapserver is able to handle
Arabic-Farsi(Persian) and Hebrew correctly (using gettext). In these
languages letter join to each other to form a word not like others which
letters are separate with no problem. also they are written right to
left not left to right. This is an important point for labeling.
Searching nabble.com, i found a post some months ago discussing around
this problem and associated ticket. That would be my pleasure to know
the result if any knows.
Thanks in advance
Well, I'm not sure about "gettext" part of your question, but with
Release 5.2 you can now build with fribidi2 support and render labels
with shaping in Arabic-Farsi(Persian) and Hebrew correctly provided you
have a truetype font that supports all the unicode shape characters.
