Best idea for web apps is to specify the font directly by using -font /the/path/to/the/font.ttf OR as you did update the system type.xml or have it include a type.xml file you generate, such as using the imagick_type_gen script http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/scripts/imagick_type_gen This by default searches the whole system for font files and creates an all-inclusive type.xml file. however you can now also specify just a specific sub-directory to search (see comments in the script) to create a 'sub-set' type.xml (like the ghostscript one) that you can include and control more directly.
