incorrect results with label for unicode (Telugu) text

[mohancloudworld]

I am converting unicode (Telugu) text to image using option "label". I am using the only font available for Telugu on my system but I am getting wrong result. I am using the same font in my libreoffice and it works fine there. Here is my comand:

Code: Select all

printf '\u0C15\u0C48' | convert -font Lohit-Telugu -pointsize 100 label:@- wrongOutput.png

But I get the correct result if I use option "pango".

Code: Select all

printf '<span font="100"> \u0C15\u0C48 </span>' | convert pango:@- correctOutput.png

My setup:
OS: Fedora 21
ImageMagick: 6.8.8-10
Terminal : Gnome

Since "label", "annotate" supports more options compared to "pango", can anyone suggest how this task can be achieved with "label" ?
