For the ones IM knows about type
convert -list type
Or to see what fonts are present on your system that IM may not know
about type..
locate -r '\.ttf$'
You can also download ones you like from the many free font web sites
around.
You can specify TTF fonts directly.. For example...
convert -font /usr/games/vultureseye/fonts/VeraSe.ttf \
-pointsize 72 label:'ABCxyz123' font_example.gif
Or add them into a file ".magick/type.xml" in your home
using a special script "imagick_type_gen" available in IM Examples
See http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/graphics/imagick6/#font
That way I can use my 'Candice' font, simply using
convert -font Candice -pointsize 72 label:'ABCxyz123' font_example.gif
