[mapserver-users] Arabic text help - some words not rendering correctly

[Ian Walberg]

Hello list and Happy New Year,

We are seeing incorrectly rendered Arabic text, typically a 'square'
displayed instead of one of the characters or sometimes one or more
characters missing.

The data is coming from shape files and most the names appear to be
displayed correctly.

This is being seen on both ms4w and the target Linux installation.

Any idea where to look would be greatly appreciated. Is the 'square'
character what Freetype displays if it cannot find a character in the
font.

Many thanks

Ian
