Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Dear all,

I've tried searching within the forum with no success. We are using the command montage to print to a pdf a contact sheet with many images. Also we use the option label to print out a description extracted from EXIF information:

montage.exe"" -font Arial -verbose -label %[EXIF:ImageDescription] -tile 4x3 -define jpeg:size=200x200 -geometry 300x300+40+40 " &sObjFolder&"\*.JPG "&sObjFolderTemp&"\contact.jpg

But when the image description has accents, these characters aren't printed off properly.

Any idea on how to correct it? I need to use montage instead of draw...

thank you very much for your help!

In questions, please ALWAYS state what version of IM, and what your environment is.

From your backslashes, perhaps you use Windows. But the ampersands suggest something else.

EDIT: And a sample image that shows the problem would also help. Put it somewhere like dropbox.com and paste the URL here.

Hi, ok, sorry. I'm using ImageMagick-6.9.1-2 on windows 7. The sample can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ti47hfczxh8um ... s.pdf?dl=0

for example, look at the phrase "Espíritu de la noche blanco", where the accent is not printed.

thank you

The uploaded file, contactos.pdf, doesn't contain EXIF:ImageDescription.

Hi the image uploaded is the final pdf. Here you can find an image used to generate this PDF: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b3boyv1b486bz ... 1.jpg?dl=0

thank you!

It seems to work fine for me, IM v6.9.1-0 on Windows 8.1. esparitu.jpg is:


You might check that your font contains all the glyphs you need. From memory, the default Arial font on Win7 omitted many characters.

Hi,

in fact it is not working well, sorry if a I haven't explained well the problem, it should be ESPÍRITU, and prints ESPÃ.RITU.

thank you very much

In that case, I don't know. Sorry.
