You could make a small (C?) program which calls image magick and also understands Java character escaping. IIRC this is the 'solution' which Sun suggests for the problem. But such a situation would make imagemagick very difficultly installable in MMBase, because it will suddenly involve compiling C-programs, or installing script-languages too. Would hardly be a problem in a UNIX environment, but we still have not dropped support for Windows.
