Hi David, the solution you proposed seems the only way to manage nonstandard scripts (arabic, chinese, hindic etc.). I just want to share my experience on it and... post a couple of questions.
Using a single TTF font for each script in some cases (e.g. world map) could lead to verbose styling. Also, to a quite different look for labels in countries with different scripts (ok, this sounds trivial, but it's clearly seen if you want to use labels with both local and latin transliteration script). Therefore I tried to use Unicode OTF fonts in GeoServer but without success. It seems Java 6 itself has no support for OTF but some source state it has: http://mindprod.com/jgloss/opentype.html So I was wondering if someone was able to use OTF fonts in GeoServer. Then I converted some Unicode OTF to TTF but only the standard map was included. Becoming useless. Is there an open source software able to convert the full unicode map from otf to ttf? Fontforge? Btw, the Arial Unicode MS is a TTF with an extended character map covering many scripts but it has license restrictions (as far as I know). A good resource for unicode fonts is http://unifont.org/fontguide/ Thanks for your help!
