Bengali Utf8 text to image conversion problem

[shiplu]

This is the command I am using.

command:

Code: Select all

convert -background lightblue -fill blue -pointsize 48   -font /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf  label:@bn_utf8.txt  bn_label_utf8.gif

Font Name: FreeSans.ttf

Text: "অরুন্ধুতি রয়, সিরাজুদ্দৌলা, ঋতুপর্ণা"

Expected Output: (created by gimp)



Actual Output: (created by convert utility)


Why is this happening?
How to solve it?

ImageMagick relies on the Freetype library to render text. Freetype is returning the same results as ImageMagick. Try

• ftview -m 'অরুন্ধুতি রয়, সিরাজুদ্দৌলা, ঋতুপর্ণা' 48 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf

We recommend submitting a bug report to the Freetype developers. If Freetype renders the text properly, ImageMagick will as well.

Freetype and IM doesn't show same result. This is what I see,



It seems IM can at least show some characters. But freetype can't.


GIMP can perfectly render images. What library it uses??

what version of IM are you using and on what platform? if an old IM (or freetype), then try upgrading both.

You're not setting up your ftview command properly. It looks like its rendering the text as latin-1 rather than unicode. When we use ftview we get the exact same results as ImageMagick.

I have used the most recent version. I just downloaded and compiled it.

When Freetype library was not installed I used to see unicode characters as latin1.
Can you tell me the proper command? I have used the exactly same command you provided in the previous post.
