If it's shapefiles, then we're still hardcoding in the western character stuff.  I have the code to do the fix, or at least know what needs to be done, but I've kept waiting for indexed shapefile and shapefile to merge so I don't have to apply the patch in four places...

Hi Ahmad,

All of the rendering is done in Geotools.  The "LabelCacheDefault"
object is the object responsible for drawing the labels.  And
DBFReader in the Shapefile plugin is responsible for reading from
shapefiles.  Does Postgis render Arabic correctly or are all labels
incorrect?

The uDig SDK RC10 comes with the Geotools source code so you can
probably use that to debug the problem.  If you can find a solution
I'd be happy to apply it.
