Using text in IM is always a crapshoot for me. I'm using OS X Tiger and IM 6.3.2 Q16. I seem to have very few ghostscript fonts. Experimenting with one of Anthony's forum responses (create neon text) I typed in:
convert -fill dodgerblue -background black -font Anaconda -pointsize 48 label:' IM examples ' -bordercolor black -border 20x20\( +clone -blur 0x15 -evaluate multiply 2 \) -compose screen -composite IM_Neon.gif I got an error message: convert: unable to read font `Anaconda'. convert: FreeTypeLibraryIsNotAvailable `/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n019003l.pfb'. So I changed the font to Helvetica and got the same error message: convert: FreeTypeLibraryIsNotAvailable `/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n019003l.pfb'. So I peeked inside n0190031.pfb and found it is empty. Then I peeked inside fonts.dir and used one of the fonts I found there (Gothic). Same error message. convert -list type tells me I have Helvetica but curiously seems to be aimed at a different library: Path: /usr/local/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.2/config/type-ghostscript.xml Is this a compile error? Can I fill n0190031.pfb with whatever IM is looking for? Tom ____________________________________________________________________________________ Bored stiff? Loosen up...
