Stephen, We can provide some examples tomorrow but we are seeing some characters not matching what is displayed in other applications.
Overall the behaviour appears to match this description https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/2591 Regards Ian -----Original Message----- From: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Stephen Woodbridge Sent: Monday, June 18, 2012 8:47 PM To: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Hindi and Thai text rendering On 6/18/2012 6:46 PM, Ian Walberg wrote: > Jeff, > > That is encouraging, however our concern is that the character > rendering is not supported. Ian, What do you mean by this statement? What have you tried? ie: what does you mapfile look like, what font are you using, etc? For this to work you need the following: 1. a mapserver build with fribidi-0.19.2 2. a truetype fone file that supports all the glyphs that you need 3. your mapfile and data configured correctly such that the text in the data is appropriately for the ENCODING and that that then matches the ttf. -Steve W > Regards > > Ian > > -----Original Message----- > From: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org > [mailto:mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Jeff > McKenna > Sent: Monday, June 18, 2012 3:06 PM > To: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org > Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Hindi and Thai text rendering > > On 12-06-18 6:45 PM, Ian Walberg wrote: >> Hello list, >> >> >> >> We are seeing some issues displaying Hindi and Thai text, from a >> quick > >> search it looks like this may be related to there not being support >> for Indic scripts. >> >> >> >> Can anyone confirm if these are supported?
