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.
