Hi DonsLund, Have you managed to find a good way of solving the æøå problem with ImageMagick?

I have tried working with some Unicode settings, b ...

Thanx - Now it works, you're help is appreciated. Great program by the way. Combined with programming I find it find a very useful tool for smaller tasks ex Watermarks and generation of icons etc.

Thank you for all your help - it was very useful

Lars

Thank you for your constructive input. I have tried to work with it, but I run into problems. The suggested commandline: convert photo.jpg -gravity west ( -size 400x1200 xc:green -fill black -pointsize 120 -annotate 90 "September" -trim ) -composite +repage output.jpg gives the result shown here ...

I wish to use IM to write text (month names) on some pictures using commandlines. I would like the text to be rotated 270 degrees and placed to the left on the picture. My problem is that I can't figure out how to center the text vertically. The problem is that the lenght of the text is not the same ...
