[mapserver-users] Failed to show Arabic labels with MapServer 5.2

Greetings! We've build the MapServer 5.2 on a Linux server, with fribidi2 0.19.1, to try show Arabic labels. But the words has been broken down to characters in the generated images (line.png). Then we've tried on a MS4W 2.3.0 server, but the images (ms4w.png) are even worse. We are using

RE: [mapserver-users] WFS server testing

Not really sure what you are asking here. Some other client application? OpenLayers would be one that I would use to see if I could connect to WFS. There are some examples in the OpenLayers code base for connecting to WFS servers, so you should b able to test that by simply changing the info to

Re: [mapserver-users] Failed to show Arabic labels with MapServer 5.2

Jackey, Try locating a different font. if the text is being rendered as glyphs and they look correct, but is missing the joining information, it is likely that the font you are using does not include the joining glyphs. If you are using a windows machine, try getting mapserver via the

[mapserver-users] Mapscript C# threadsafety issue?

Is this still an existing issue with Mapscript C#? Are there any other limitations to this version of the Mapscript that I should be aware of? Thank you, Nelson ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org

Re: [mapserver-users] TRANSPARENCY PROBLEM

Hi john, simply omit the whole STYLE in the class, this make the layer transparent. Or, if this seems dirty, set COLOR -1 -1 -1 and OUTLINECOLOR -1 -1 -1. In fact the TRANSPARENCY 1 render a very faded layer, while TRANSPARENCY 0 is like TRANSPARENCY 100... (TRANSPARENCY is deprecated in ms5, use

Re: [mapserver-users] Failed to show Arabic labels with MapServer 5.2

Steve, Thanks for the advise, but we've tried the Arial font already in the first test, it's just the same. We thought it was the fribidi2's problem since 0.19.1 doesn't have their configure script changed, and tried the 0.10.9, but it's all the same, every word is broken. On Mon, Nov 17, 2008

Re: [mapserver-users] Arabic labeling problem again?!!!

Re: [mapserver-users] Failed to show Arabic labels with MapServer 5.2

I've located the problem, it seems that the TTF font (Arabic Transparent) is not 100% unicode safe. And maybe I've messed something up, so that the font Arial didn't produce the correct result. But now I can use Arial to produce image. However, there still seems to be a slight problem (well, I'm
