| Re: [udig-devel] Arabic Labels in the map | 
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.

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.
