[mapserver-users] Hindi and Thai text rendering

Hello Everyone,
I am re-posting this with a corrected link provided below.
We are having issues displaying Hindi in Map Server. The characters
display correctly in text editors we use, as well as excel, open office
documents and in our sqlite database. Certain characters appear to flip
around when displaying in Map Sever. We have tried various different
fonts including: arialuni, devangari, gargi, etc. We have also tried
using several data types: shapefiles, sqlite databases.
The following is a link showing how the Hindi characters should display:

I have included a basic Map File where I am using the TEXT tag to
display the Hindi translation using an HTML string of entities.

Thank you Rahknonen,
However this is not quite what I expected. If I reclassify a particular
value, all other cells disapear.
This leads me to another question (I'll open another topic too). the
PROCESSING LUT command can be used as a way to build a indexed color
table for 8bit rasters. Is there a way to import a color table ?
Thank you
Andr?

Hi,
Is there a way to associate a color table to a 8bit raster so Mapserver
doesn't render it in grayscale?
In the Mapserver documentation, a pallete is refered, but for what I
understood, this applies to the output format, not to a particular
raster.
Is there a workarround for this situation? (other than converting the
raster to RGB)
Thank you,
Andr? Mano

Hello list,
We are seeing some issues displaying Hindi and Thai text, from a quick
search it looks like this may be related to there not being support for
Indic scripts.
Can anyone confirm if these are supported? And if they are not are there
any workarounds?
Many thanks
Ian

Hello Ian,
I can for sure confirm that Thai text is supported, as it was one of the
languages tested during the initial implementation of the source code
(see the notes at the bottom of
http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/labelencoding.html).
There's always a chance that things have changed with MapServer 6.0, but
if you provide a small data sample, font, and simple one layer mapfile I
am sure others on this email list can test and provide feedback for you.

Jeff,
That is encouraging, however our concern is that the character rendering
is not supported.

Ian,
What do you mean by this statement?
What have you tried? ie: what does you mapfile look like, what font are
you using, etc?
For this to work you need the following:
1. a mapserver build with fribidi-0.19.2 2. a truetype fone file that
supports all the glyphs that you need 3. your mapfile and data
configured correctly such that the text in the data is appropriately for
the ENCODING and that that then matches the ttf.

Stephen,
We can provide some examples tomorrow but we are seeing some characters
not matching what is displayed in other applications.
Overall the behaviour appears to match this description

Hi All
Is is possible create and use variables within a mapfile?
IE I want to store the colour of a road in one place, then reference
that colour in the several style tags
EG
$road_colour_inside = "255 0 0 "
then later in the style tags be able to do color $road_colour_inside
Or something similar.
I am using v6.0
Thanks
Matt :)

Hi Ian,
The symptoms you are describing are similar to what I have run into with
rendering Arabic. What we found was that the TTF we were using was
missing some glyphs related to connecting characters in the script. My
client Identified these and we were able to locate a different font that
had better glyph coverage for Arabic. I don't know anything about Hindi
and Thai so looking at you results will not help, but it does sounds
like the basic rendering is working.
Assuming the above is true, then you would need to identify the
characters that are wrong or missing by there character codes and then
find a font that has support for those codes. If you think fribidi is
not handling things correctly, I have found their mailing list to be
very helpful and they suggested changes to how we used their code in
mapserver in the past to filter out some zero width space utf8 codes
that were causing problems for Arabic.
