[mapserver-users] Arabic text on roads

Hi all,

I'm trying to fix a mapserver install that is displaying Arabic text but 
it is rendering it backwards ltr instead of rtl.

I'm using mapserver 6.2.2 and it is built with fribidi support. Point 
labels are rendered correctly.

On the road labels I changed it from ANGLE FOLLOW to ANGLE AUTO because 
RFC 98 clearly states ANGLE FOLLOW does not support rtl text until 7.0

Should ANGLE AUTO work with rtl labeling?

Thanks,
   -Steve W
