Hi - you need an actual image ( not just the Image::Magick base ) for
QueryFontMetrics; this works:
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
use Image::Magick;
use Data::Dumper;
my $img = Image::Magick->new();
my @fonts = $img->QueryFont();
$img->Set( size => "100x100" );
$img->Read( "Xc:white" );
foreach my $font ( @fonts ) {
print Dumper( [ $img->QueryFontMetrics( text => 'Testing 1 2 3', font =>
$font ) ] );
}
