ImageMagick can't handle mixed font rendering

This is an example from Imagemagick that will render the chinese characters in the file if using the ZenKaiUni font.

convert -background lightblue -fill blue -pointsize 48 -font ZenKaiUni label:@chinese_words.utf8 label_utf8.gif

I have a situation where a Chinese font is mixed with English and would like to render it with the above command. Imagemagick is rendering the English text with "?" symbols. Is it possible to provide an English font also to the same command above or any other way to render the mixed languages text ?

Thanks .

Imagemagick is not a text editor and so its text functions are basic. Later versions come with Pango and you may be able to use that.
