[mapserver-users] Rendering Hindi Characters

[Peter Mallen]

Hello Everyone,

I am having issues rendering certain Hindi characters. I am using UTF-8 encoding.

When attempting to display the following Hindi character in MapServer: र्ट

It is rendered in MapServer as the following two characters: र् ट

I believe these characters form what is called a conjunct consonant, of which there appear to be thousands of and most of them do not render using MapServer.

Also, It appears that MapServer is having an issue displaying these conjunct consonants and wants to display these characters separately rather than to form them as one combined character. 

Here is a link describing more about the Devanagari alphabet: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/devanagari.htm

Can anyone please help with this?  

Thank You,

Peter Mallen
