Arabic Text to GIF

Post by iamften »

I am using 6.6.7-Q16 on Cygwin. I have also tried Windows command line also. The command that I am using is:

convert -direction right-to-left -encoding Unicode -pointsize 12 aronlytest.txt aronlytest.gif

I was hoping that the letters would be connected in this version, but they are not. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have close to 300 files to do so am hoping that I don't have to do a double conversion. The files have Arabic letters, but English numbers in them. The English numbers are being dropped entirely. I do have the language pack installed for Windows.

Thanks for any advice / help!
