[mapserver-users] Hindi and Thai text rendering

[Ian Walberg]

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
https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/2591

Regards

Ian

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.
