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.

According to

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/resources.php

there are some environment variables that could be set.  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.
