[Mapserver-users] Arabic label

[woodbri at swoodbridge.com]

Daniel,

You will need to get a true type font that will render the arabic 
characters correctly before it will look correct. I found one 
searching the web, but I am in the process of moving everything to a 
new system and I can't find anything at the moment. But try a google 
search for something like "arabic true type font download" should get 
you pretty close.
