Hi All, I am continuing to have a problem I wrote about previously, except now it is occuring on a brand new linux computer running IM version 6.2.8, newly installed. When I try to enter a convert command, it has this error: "convert: unable to read font '/usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType/arial.ttf'. This folder doesnt exist, and within the fonts folder, there is a Type1 and ghostscript folder, neither of which contain this font or even a font with this file extension.
This same convert command is currently running just fine on a different computer, which is running IM version 5.3.8. The command that sets this off is as follows: /usr/bin/convert $txt_fmt -draw $drawcmd:q filename.raw filename.png where $txt_fmt = '-fill white -box black -pointsize 50 -gravity south' and $drawcmd = 'text 0,960 "'$timestamp:q'"' where $timestamp is just a string with the time I was previously informed this was an outdated way to use convert, but I've inherited this script from a previous employee, and would prefer to leave things the way they are for the purpose of being consistent. It seems to me that it should be as simple as adding whatever font package IM thinks it needs, or changing the defaults to use the fonts already on my computer. Please advise!
