Hi -- thanks for the help.
I actually found out that my issue was that some fonts were defined in a "
ghostscript.xml" file in my ImageMagick directory which were pointing to
fonts that didn't actually exist on my system (I saw this by using the
"convert -list type" command, and the opening the ghostscript.xml file it
mentioned). When I deleted that file (and applied the below fixes to my test
script) everything worked properly.
