[OSM-talk] Asian fonts with Mapnik

[Matthias Sala]

Hello folks

OSM is great!  We're using OSM for our location-based game for quite a while
for Switzerland+Europe, but now plan to have the whole world rendered with
Mapnik.

Now, I have noticed that Asian fonts (China is labeled with two boxes
instead of the correct Unicode chars) are not working, even thou I have the
arphic/uming.ttc copied to OSM/Mapnik as suggested in
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapnik#Troubleshooting.

Is there somebody who knows how to set up things properly?  Do I need other
fonts?  Where do I have to adjust other settings?

I use Ubuntu 9.10. The osm.xml font section is attached below

Thanks for your help!

Best, Matthias
