Sorry for the late reply, I am working with OIIO after hours... My example actually does work if I don't use an absolute path and just put 'Arial.ttf'. This makes sense based on your link to the source code showing various search paths...
But I actually wanted to use a font I was shipping with the tool I have written because I can't be sure it is on the target machine when deployed. So I used an absolute path, which contained a colon. I worked around it by using a relative path to my working directory and that worked. To answer your question about that alternative syntax... oiiotool ERROR: text : Could not set font face to "/C/Windows/Fonts/Arial.ttf" Thanks a lot for the improvements you made Larry!
