I have noticed a different rendering with Mapnik when using arabic tag names for linear ways and closed ways
example see here http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=33.89622&lon=35.48974&zoom=17 there is a green area and an Hospital both are tagged name:en Sanayeh Parc name: حديقة الصنايع for the green park and name:en=American University Hospital name=مستشفى الجامعة الأمريكية around them are normal street tagging e.g. rendered correctly in arabic now the problem is that for those and many other closed areas like buildings, parcs , industry zones etc.. the rendering of arabic is reversed like this if it is tagged مستشفى الجامعة الأمريكية = American University Hospital in Potlatch then it is rendered on a multiline in the other direction (from left to right ) and thus it is rendered الأمريكية الجامعة مستشفى and the tag : حديقة الصنايع is rendered الصنايع حديقة is it a problem that somebody can fix ? Thanks
