Hi all.
I've asked this problem in MS4W mailing list but no success. it sounds it originally relates to mapserver
According to what History.txt for MS4W2.2.8 says, problem for arabic and hebrew languages has been solved by using UTF8. But i couldn't get a good result.
In fact, UTF8 doesn't show letters correctly (just some symbols). i have tried lots of fonts but the same result.
in current version, the problem of joining letters have been solved because i can get result using 'ISO8859-6' encoding which is for arabic but now this encoding changes some of letters with each other.
In last version, 'Windows-1256' encoding (for arabic) worked well for showing letters just they were separate not joint. but in cuurent versions this encoding just shows some symbols.
I'm confused. maybe i should setup sth which i don't do or i don't know sth else.
that would be my appreciate to help me because it is really a need. Maps without labels have less usage.
Thanks in advance
(See attachments)
My Mapfile:
LABEL
TYPE TrueType
FONT timesnewromans
ENCODING 'windows-1256'
SIZE 12
