Gallery+ImageMagick & Unicode directory names

[mamouneyya]

I'm using ImageMagick with Gallery script. I tested it on my local server (Mac OS X) with no problems at all, but in my hosted server a problem happens with Arabic directory names. I can add albums with Arabic directory names in Gallery, but, unlike the situation on my local server, ImageMagick on my hosted server is always unable to generate a thumb for photos uploaded to Arabic directories. It can if I changed the directory name to English name.

Related discussion on Gallery forums: http://gallery.menalto.com/node/94714

I am asking help here because after that discussion I came to realize that the problem relates to server configuration/software. I think this is a good place as you, ImageMagick developers, should know exactly what it needs to work properly in my situation.

The errors from server error log:

Any help/advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.

We created a directory like this:

• cd /tmp
  mkdir اختبار

and then used these commands:

• convert logo: اختبار/logo.png
  identify -verbose اختبار/logo.png

and ImageMagick 6.6.0-1 ran without complaint under Redhat / CentOS 5.4. Give us a simple command line sequence that fails for you. We need to reproduce the problem before we can offer a solution.
