[udig-devel] Arabic Labels in the map

[Ahmad Al-Obaidy <ahmad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

UDIG doesn't render Arabic text correctly on the labels of vector layers. It render them as separate letters instead of the correct continuous (script) form.

Even more, udig couldn't guess the code page of the string fields in a shape file. And it had render it in different code page in the Table View.

I has already sent a sample shape file here http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/attachment/27104/region-boarders.zip

I would be glad to send you screen shots as well (if it is needed).

I do some Java development so I would be glad if someone showed me how to start to solve this problem.

Ahmad
