This looks similar to the example from http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/ under "Font Usage". Since "Candice" is one of his special fonts, it's no surprise that it won't show up. I'm not sure why it's looking in $HOME/Library/Fonts, and not bothering with /Library/Fonts, though. It might be worth checking your environment via 'printenv | grep Fonts' to see if something (in Fink or otherwise) has done that.

That might Also, the author mentions using a script to read the available fonts on the system and cache them. It might be worth trying that. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkqUJogACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ+X9QCfW5+nImopXdQPQtXlBJ2aqvGf LPAAniEA8HIMkeMMKBgsFPu1K0IePaFr =0x95 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
