If you have them in a particular sub-directory, you can tell it to generate the type.xml file with just the fonts in that sub-directory. NOTE type.xml" files can include other files. As such you can create the file... $HOME/.magick/type.xml with... <typemap> <include file="type-myfonts.xml" /> </typemap> then create a separate $HOME/.magick/type-myfonts.xml file with the fonts of just your personal directory... find $HOME/lib/fonts/truetype/ -name '*.ttf' | \ imagick_type_gen -f - > $HOME/.magick/type-myfonts.xml You can check IM is finding the fonts with convert -list font Path: /home/anthony/.magick/type-myfonts.xml ...fonts in my directory... Path: /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.5.5/config/type-ghostscript.xml ...standard ghostscript fonts... Path: System Fonts ...system fonts, in /usr/share/ on my system!
