I guess you haven't been to Anthony's helpful Text to Image Handling Examples http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/

Check it out. Want to use the font of your own? No problem. Want to use Chinese font? No problem, there is even an example right using Chinese font. Want to use a font without registering to ImageMagick? No problem. Check it out, the answers are all there.

Moreover, if you still have any problem that is not covered, I suggest you subscribe to the ImageMagick User List http://www.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users

An *extremely* helpful mlist. Well worth the trouble of the email registration. you will find Anthony answering questions there himself. You throw in a question to the mlist, no matter how hard it is, an answer will (magically) come out… :-)
