Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: imagemagick

Details in this upstream thread: http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-
server/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15878

Basically, the following line shows the arabic characters backwards:

convert -background white -fill black -size 320x320 -encoding Unicode
-font AlHor -gravity center -pointsize 40 label:'ﺱﻼﻣ' test01.png

The ImageMagick folks say that it's because Ubuntu's ImageMagick:

"Your version of ImageMagick does not have built-in support for the RSVG
delegate library. You must install the RSVG delegate and its development
RPM (so the headers are installed). Then when you build ImageMagick from
source or SRPM, ImageMagick finds RSVG and includes support when its
installed. ImageMagick should then render the SVG image correctly."

They're implementing a new flag in the version 6.6.0-10 that will come
out in a couple of days, to handle situations when the RSVG isn't
implemented.

Please either re-compile with RSVG, or implement the new version.

Thanks!
