• convert -pointsize 48 -font arial-unicode.ttf label:ღтестღ label.png

Now it works with this font. Thank you very much

I tried to create image with such character in GIMP image editor using font 'Ubuntu' - it works. Then I tried to do same with imagemagick:

$ convert -list font |grep -i ubuntu
Font: Ubuntu-Bold
family: Ubuntu
glyphs: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-B.ttf
Font: Ubuntu-Bold ...

There are numerous images which I should annotate with text, some phrases have some special characters such as ღ and some others.

convert label:ღтестღ image.jpg

тест - is test in Russian
as a result of this command i get image with text ?тест?
how can I make imagemagick draw such characters on ...
