Read the section on UTF fonts at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/ and be sure your font set is proper and .rtf. Anthony can give you more details, but it is possible that your font set is not proper.

Your font is probably a special 256 character international ISO font, rather than a UTF font. Try using a Arial TTF microsoft font and see if that works.
