nominally put -gravity before label:
convert -background white -fill black -size 200x200 -font
Verdana-Regular -pointsize 12 -gravity South label:Src src.png
But pointsize is ignored if you specify a size. See
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#size
If the "-size" setting has been specified with both a width and a
height (but not a "-pointsize", the label will be created at that
size. Also the size of the draw text will be adjusted to best fit the
final given label size!
Both label: and caption: will scale the text to fill the size if
specified. If -size is not specified, then it will use the pointsize
specified.
So use either of the following:
1) To have the font size adjusted to fill the -size
convert -background white -fill black -size 200x200 -font
Verdana-Regular -gravity South label:Src src.png
or
2) To have the size specified and use the pointsize, but not
necessarily fill the space allocated
convert -background white -fill black -font Verdana-Regular
-pointsize 12 -gravity South label:Src src.png
