| Hi guys,
| I have to annotate an image with Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text.
| To annotate an image with western text I used the following command:
| convert image_source.jpg -pointsize 50 -annotate +1370+500 "P.F.P. PRIMO
| CANALE" image_target.jpg
| and everything worked properly.
| Now, how can I do if I have to annotate the image with CJK text ? This text
| is written using UTF-8 character-set
| Thanking you in advance for taking time out to assist me with these
| difficulties,
| I add my best regards
| Tiziano Mazzoni

See IM examples, Unicode

Command line often has trouble with direct Unicode, Better to read the
unicode from a file or a pipeline.
