<DIV>Hi all.</DIV>
<DIV>I've asked this problem in MS4W mailing list but no success. it sounds it originally relates to mapserver</DIV>
<DIV>According to what History.txt for MS4W2.2.8 says, problem for arabic and <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1220279275_0>hebrew languages</SPAN> has been solved by using UTF8. But i couldn't get a good result.</DIV>
<DIV>In fact, UTF8 doesn't show letters correctly (just some symbols). i have tried lots of fonts but the same result.</DIV>
<DIV>in current version, the problem of joining letters have been solved because i can get result using 'ISO8859-6' encoding which is for arabic but now this encoding changes some of letters with each other.</DIV>
<DIV>In last version, 'Windows-1256' encoding (for arabic) worked well for showing letters just they were separate not joint. but in cuurent versions this encoding just shows some symbols.</DIV>
<DIV>I'm confused. maybe i should setup sth which i don't do or i don't know sth else.</DIV>
<DIV>that would be my appreciate to help me because it is really a need. Maps without labels have less usage.</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance</DIV>
