Trying to write UTF-8 text to an image without any luck. I've spent several hours reading docs and googling.
/usr/bin/xlsfonts shows: ... -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-p-56-iso10646-1 -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-p-56-iso8859-1 ...
(BTW, this seems like an excellent page for these fonts: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html)
program has: img.font("-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-p-56-iso10646-1"); img.textEncoding("UTF-8"); img.annotate(s, Magick::Geometry(0, 0, x, y));
The string "s" has the UTF-8 "cent" sign (0xC2, 0xA2), but it shows as 2 chars, per ISO 8859.
My guess is that textEncoding does not work with the X11 bitmapped fonts, but I can't find anything at all on the web (should be some discussion somewhere).
Is there any way to do UTF-8 with the X11 bitmapped fonts? Thanks.
