[mapserver-dev] log2vis no multi-line support

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Jerry,

I am wondering, since log2vis seems to be deprecated (MapServer issue: 
https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/5491), besides spitting 
out an error, is there a way to better handle line breaks?  In other 
words, if we cannot use fribidi_log2vis() because it is deprecated, what 
should we be using?

(Jerry's pull request: https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/pull/5535)

(background for others: Jerry is a highschool developer contributing to 
MapServer as part of the Google Code-in.   If others can help provide 
feedback here or in the pull request that would be very helpful)
