Hello Ian, I can for sure confirm that Thai text is supported, as it was one of the languages tested during the initial implementation of the source code (see the notes at the bottom of http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/labelencoding.html). There's always a chance that things have changed with MapServer 6.0, but if you provide a small data sample, font, and simple one layer mapfile I am sure
Re: [mapserver-users] Hindi and Thai text rendering
Hi Ian, The symptoms you are describing are similar to what I have run into with rendering Arabic. What we found was that the TTF we were using was missing some glyphs related to connecting characters in the script. My client Identified these and we were able to locate a different font that had better glyph coverage for Arabic. I don't know anything about Hindi and Thai so looking at you results will not help, but it does sounds like the basic rendering is working. Assuming the above is true, then you would need to identify the characters that are wrong or missing by there character codes and then find a font that has support for those codes. If you think fribidi is not handling things correctly, I have found their mailing list to be very helpful and they suggested changes to how we used their code in mapserver in the past to filter out some zero width space utf8 codes that were causing problems for Arabic. -Steve W On 6/18/2012 11:51 PM, Ian Walberg wrote: Stephen, We can provide some examples tomorrow but we are seeing some characters not matching what is displayed in other applications.

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.

[mapserver-users] Hindi and Thai text rendering
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? And if they are not are there any workarounds? Many thanks Ian ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

Re: [mapserver-users] Hindi and Thai text rendering
Jeff, That is encouraging, however our concern is that the character rendering is not supported.

Re: [mapserver-users] Hindi and Thai text rendering
Stephen, We can provide some examples tomorrow but we are seeing some characters not matching what is displayed in other applications.
