Hi all.
I've asked this problem in MS4W mailing list but no success. it sounds it 
originally relates to mapserver
According to what History.txt  for MS4W2.2.8 says, problem for arabic and 
hebrew languages has been solved by using UTF8. But i couldn't get a good 
result.
In fact, UTF8 doesn't show letters correctly (just some symbols). i have tried 
lots of fonts but the same result.
in current version, the problem of joining letters have been solved because i 
can get result using 'ISO8859-6' encoding which is for arabic but now this 
encoding changes some of letters with each other.
In last version, 'Windows-1256' encoding (for arabic) worked well for showing 
letters just they were separate not joint. but in cuurent versions this 
encoding just shows some symbols.
I'm confused. maybe i should setup sth which i don't do or i don't know sth 
else.
that would be my appreciate to help me because it is really a need. Maps 
without labels have less usage.
Thanks in advance

My Mapfile: 
LABEL
  TYPE TrueType
  FONT timesnewromans
  ENCODING 'windows-1256'
  SIZE 12
