<p>Hi,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Jeff and Stefanos are probably giving good hints about how to render non-western character sets. However, I wonder if Aimee actually wants to have English names everywhere. Is this what you want, Aimee?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If you have a look the OSM data, for example Moscow </p>
<p><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2555133">http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2555133</a> you will notise that the "name" tag has the local name. The English name must be searched from the "name:en" tag.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Reading about multilingual names in OSM:</p>
<p><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multilingual_names">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multilingual_names</a></p>
<p><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names</a></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>For making an English preferred maps you may want to use COALESCE </p>
<p><a href="https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/functions-conditional.html">https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/functions-conditional.html</a> for selecting "name:en" if that exists, otherwise select "name".</p>

since "iconv -l" command listed greek as well. Eventually I found out that if I install the fonts for my language (greek), and then reference them correctly in my mapfile with the fonts.list file, it is working perfectly without having to use ENCODING in my
mapfile. My fonts are truetype fonts so if you try this, add "TYPE truetype" in your label object. My Mapserver version is 7.0.1.</span></div>

<div class="y_msg_container">Hi<br>
<br>
I have installed on mapserver a planet file imported using imposm3.<br>
Maps all ok, however, for non english countries,(Middle East/Russia/China etc) the place names are in the local language<br>
(Arabic/Russian or for China, square boxes).<br>
Is this normal?, or have I messed up somewhere in a mapping?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Aimee<br>
<br>
mapserver 7.0.3 is the server release.<br>
