If the way is facing east to west the label is not rendered right. Reversing the way to point from west to east makes the rendering right.

Herm noted that placement tries to reverse the string in case it would render upside down. This might cause problems with unicode strings.

Look at http://c.tile.osm-tools.org/osm_th/18/203121/117166.png to see the correct rendering for สีวลี 06
The others point to the opposite direction and have rendering issues in 0.7. Mapnik2 does not render them at all.

with "unifont Medium" the label can be rendered.

This small OSM file contains a way with the label rendered right:

reversing the way will trigger the problem
