annotate with RTL languages

Post by rmagick »

Does ImageMagick support annotation with RTL languages such as Hebrew? If so, can you tell me how to do it?

To annotate Unicode languages specify a proper font for the language and UTF-8 encode your text. We've never specifically tried Hebrew but we have tested Chinese and Japanese.

For an example (of chinese or special unicode characters) see

I think a RTL language test would be a good idea regardless, so if you have an example simular to the above, that would be good.
