Are you using IM on a Windows or UNIX machine? For it to find the font 'Wacko' IM needs to find the font file. The simpliest way is to just specify the 'TTF' filename rather that the font name For example convert ... -font '/Path/to/file/Wacko.ttf' ... When it cant find a the font as a file name IM does try to look in a special data file 'type.xml' to vonvert the name given to an actual font file. For LINUX and MAC systems I wrote a program to search the computer for all TTF fonts, and create such as file. The details of this in on the top page of the ImageMagick Examples http://imagemagick.org/Usage/#fonts For Windows, I have seen very little detail on what needs to be done to add new fonts to IM. However the full process on how IM locates and finds fonts for various machines is given on the IM Resources page on the main IM web site... http://imagemagick.org/script/resources.php#fonts Though that appears to be mostly UNIX centric. I have re-sumerised this on my older raw notes on ImageMagick, though have not merged this into the main IM Examples site... http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/info/graphics/imagemagick.hints Scroll down to...

After that the first reference to the desired configuarion item is what is used. =======8<-------- Anthony Thyssen ( System Programmer ) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows is a 32 bit patch to a 16 bit GUI based on a 8 bit operating system written for a 4 bit processor by a 2 bit company which can not stand 1 bit of competition. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anthony's Home is his Castle http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/ _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list [email protected] http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
