I have the same problem in Windows 7 OS =( May be I need just to switch some parameter?

I think you need PANGO to make it work and that may be available only if you use the latest cygwin. But I am not a windows user, so I will defer to those who know more than I.

I will try upgrading our IM implementation to use Pango later this year.
Pango is new to me, but if it solves the left-to-right issue its really a unique solution.

Hi,

Thank you for this great work!!

But i still have an issue when trying to use 'pango'
I'm trying to render an rtl text ( arabic text ) with imagmagick. I read many topics about this issue and how ImageMagick handle RTL langauages ( using reverse, and direction options), but this does not solve the main problem and text outputted still not the right one and if we try to mix rtl and ltr language, the problem become more visible.

And when i read this fork, i see the pango solution.

Trying to make some tests picked from this page :http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#pango , i had many errors as shown here :

convert -background lightblue pango:"Anthony Thyssen" pango.gif
convert: pas de délégué pour décoder ce format d'image `Anthony Thyssen' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/533.
convert: nom de fichier d'image absent `pango.gif' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3017.

I will translate this text : convert: no delegate to access this image format : `Anthony Thyssen' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/533
convert: missed image filename 'pango.gif' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3017

Note: i just installed ImageMagick 6.7.6-5 with perl enabled and rsvg delegation.

Image Magick work fine and standard command 'convert' work fine also.

This is the output of the command: convert -list configure:

Any help please?

Thank you

type

convert -list format

see if you have a line such as:

PANGO* PANGO r-- Pango Markup Language (Pangocairo 1.30.0)

However, I am surprized that it is not rw- Seems to missing the write.

But this does work:

convert -background lightblue -size 150 \
pango:"Anthony Thyssen is the main author of IM Examples" \
pango_size.gif

See
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#pango

pango: is ONLY an input (image creation) format. It is NOT a actual image file format, just a text to image coder. Muchl ike label: or caption:. So of course you can not write to it!

Thank you for the reply.

above the outpout of the command: convert -list format

PANGO* PANGO --- Pango Markup Language

Thank you for the help.

I tried to reinstall all this packages with yum command:#yum install pango-devel pango cairo-devel cairo
and i noticied that all is already well installed ( see the outpout above ) :

The problem still the same. What i'm missing?

Thank you for your help.

Your Pango package is too old. ImageMagick requires Pango 1.28.1 or above.

Hi,
Unfortunally although i installed pango 1.28.1, i still have the same problem!

It's very strange! ImageMagick was well installed ( ImageMagick-6.7.6-5 ), i re-installed it to be sure that all is OK, but still have the error:

Above, the trace of the error after installing pango 1.28.1:
