Thanks again, I hope this isn't off topic install ImageMagick 5.4.2 from here. ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-5.4.2.tar.gz But first install Freetype 2.0 or greater o ImageMagick requires the FreeType software, version 2.0 or above, available as http://www.freetype.org/ to annotate with TrueType fonts. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/freetype/freetype-2.0.tar.gz I also had your problems under Linux this should do you although I would also upgrade the Perl to the latest Have fun I did took most of the night to catch what was going on.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
