Does the fgs install for Linux or the ms4w on windows support Arabic text?

Ian,

In your LABEL block you need to have ENCODING 'your encoding' and you need a text font that has all the joining character glyphs and mapserver needs to be with fribidi-0.19.2

I think both FGS and MS4W both build with that.

Often, the hardest part is finding a good text font that supports all the characters.
