[Geoserver-users] Problem with Khmer unicode

Hi all,

I have some problems with Khmer unicode. I want my label to display in Khmer unicode, but it does not work properly. It did display the characters but the subscript did not render correctly. I am using Khmer OS unicode. In Firefox and IE, it works just fine since they know where the USP10.dll is. But I do not think that Geoserver knows where USP10.dll is. That is why it does not render correctly. Do you guys have any ideas?

Any help is always appreciated.

Thank you.

I never played with it, but anyways, GeoServer already displays a few
non latin scripts successfully, I believe the only thing you need to do
is to enable the Java runtime to display those extra characters.
Looking here, it seems you need at least Java 6 to do so:

Unfortunately I don't have any more details on this matter.

Using GeoServer 1.6.4 and (Sun HotSpot) Java 6, I've been able to display Chinese, Devangari, and Tibetan. It was necessary to supply TrueType fonts to Java and call them in explicitly (a la '/usr/java/default/jre/lib/fonts/myfontfilename') in the style information, as I believe was discussed recently on this list.
