[mapserver-dev] Re: Arabic encoding in Mapscript

[mapsab]

Thank you Mr.Steve for your prompt reply.I tried your suggestion by  using 
MS Arial font(ARIALUNI .ttf) which is almost 23 Mb size with UTF-8
encoding.But the result was same,that is some unreadable characters,even not
Arabic.But when i changed the encoding to 'Windows-1256' ,it shows some
Arabic text ,but not in a joined way.But when I tried to extract the data
from the same layer and displaying in a dropdown box, using Mapscript API,it
is giving the correct data in Arabic.So I think the problem in map
rendering.For showing Arabic text does it require to recompile Mapserver
with fribidi-0.19.x? Since I am  a beginner in Mapserver ,I don't know how
to compile it.Can you guide me for  this?(I am using C#mapscript with
asp.net).

                           Thanks,
                             Sabu
