i also installed the Japanese font

Error:
convert: unable to read font `c:\windows\fonts\HTZB_6.ttf' @ annotate.c/RenderTy

i also specified the font location like below
convert -background lightblue -fill blue -pointsize 32 -font c:\windows\fonts\HTZB_6.ttf label:'テキストや' label_i8n.gif

Error:

How to add fonts to type.xml file in windows
quick response help me more.. i struggle with this problem over a week.....

see viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14582&hilit=utf+unicode

perhaps that will help

i followed the link.. but i have same issue... for example
convert -background lightblue -fill blue -pointsize 32 -font arial label:@testchars.txt other.jpg

in tha file @testchars.txt containing text as: văn bản hoặc trang web

the o/p image is like " ?văn bản hoặc trang web " like it have an ? before that string....

the file MUST be storing or encoding in utf-8, not just using those characters. Your text editor must be compatible with utf-8 encoding and save the file with utf-8 encodings. Perhaps your font is not utf-8 compatible.

i store the file in the utf8 enabled file.. i used notepad++.. it is working fine.. my question is when i convert the text in to image that time only the error showed like below
Input :" văn bản hoặc trang web " => output: " ?văn bản hoặc trang web ".. how to check whether the font have utf-8 compatible ? and where to downlaod zekahi fonts with utf-8 compatible ?. now iam moved to linux (centos) . here i installed all fonts using package manger like japanese and chinese + other extra languages.. and installed image magick with following configuration

./configure --with-freetype=Yes --enable-lzw=yes --enable-shared=yes --disable-static --without-perl --with-gs-font-dir=default --with-windows-font-dir=/usr/share/fonts/chinese/TrueType

guide me what else to do...

I am not a windows user, so cannot say whether Notepad is properly utf-8 encoding or if you have to configure it to do so. Perhaps try another text editor that is clearly utf-8 compatible.

With regard to your configuration, it is not what you tell IM to configure, but what delegates you have installed and which ones IM recongnizes AND the versions of those delegates. Looks like a freetype problem.

To check what delegates IM thinks you have properly installed type

convert -list configure

and look at the line starting with DELEGATES. Mine for example has the following installed:

DELEGATES bzlib fftw fontconfig freetype gs jpeg jng jp2 lcms lqr openexr png tiff x11 xml zlib


I installed each from source and then installed IM from source. I don't know how you installed IM whether from binary or from source nor what delegates you have installed.

you can get the delegates (possibly old) at http://www.imagemagick.org/download/delegates/
but I would do a Google search to find more current ones, especially for any that you have suspicions that are not working correctly.
