| While testing on an existing FC4 box with ImageMagick 6.2.2, I can't get
| -label to work.
| I've tried playing with colors and fonts to no avail.
| I used fonts listed by "xlsfonts" and then fonts listed by "convert
| -list type"
|
| I tried the examples on http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/
|
| |convert -background lightblue -fill blue -font Candice -pointsize 72
label:Anthony label.gif
| |
|
| That complained about missing image label.gif
| I've created label.gif and it still complained.
| I've added an extra argument as the output image and all the command did
| (apparently) was to copy input to output.
|
| Any idea what could be wrong?

You probably have no fonts!
Try convert -list type
to see the current font list.
Also see the top level page of IM examples which has some font finding
information (and script).
