Title:
  ImageMagick doesn't handle Right-To-Left languages

Status in “imagemagick” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “imagemagick” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: imagemagick

  Details in this upstream thread: http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-
  server/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15878

  Basically, the following line shows the arabic characters backwards:

  convert -background white -fill black -size 320x320 -encoding Unicode
  -font AlHor -gravity center -pointsize 40 label:'ﺱﻼﻣ' test01.png

  The ImageMagick folks say that it's because Ubuntu's ImageMagick:

  "Your version of ImageMagick does not have built-in support for the
  RSVG delegate library. You must install the RSVG delegate and its
  development RPM (so the headers are installed). Then when you build
  ImageMagick from source or SRPM, ImageMagick finds RSVG and includes
  support when its installed. ImageMagick should then render the SVG
  image correctly."

  They're implementing a new flag in the version 6.6.0-10 that will come
  out in a couple of days, to handle situations when the RSVG isn't
  implemented.

  Please either re-compile with RSVG, or implement the new version.

  Thanks!
