Hello everyone!
Requesting your help, by testing and providing feedback on an labeling
issue reported by a user, Ryan Whitley, a few years ago.
I have/had created a full sample, containing Arabic fonts, and a short
mapfile, that you can execute locally with shp2img at
https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/files/1005449/ticket-5426-arabic-labels.zip
You can read the issue at https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/5426
Today I tested on Ubuntu, and the label problem still exists, with
MapServer 7.4.1, fribidi 1.0.5, and harfbuzz 2.4.0 (all compiled from
source today)
I also of course get the error with the latest MS4W on Windows.
So, since it applies to all platforms, please if you have a minute
download the sample, run shp2img locally, report your findings and
provide ideas on how to fix the issue.
thanks!
Have a nice weekend everyone,
-jeff
