While rendering a name which contains both LTR and RTL alphabet (English & Persian), the Persian part are rendered incorrectly. For example the name of Iran is the bellow link are rendered incorrectly.[[BR]]

It is rendered:[[BR]]

)Iran( 

while it should be

(Iran) 

The same problem happened for Afghanistan, Pakistan and Western Sahara!

I should add this complementary comment:
The problem I am pointing is rendering the Persian name with non-joined character. The "(" and ")" problem are considered in Bug #2946. Also this bug is not happening when it is only Persian characters!

Mapnik ticket 189 (http://trac.mapnik.org/ticket/189) will still be the underlying cause however - this is not a bug in our mapnik stylesheets, it's a bug in the mapnik software.

Just wanted to point out that of course this is not only a problem for Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan but also in Israel.

We experiencing this issue for a long while, too.

Here a example:
