I would have something like: gc.stroke('transparent').stroke_antialias(false) gc.fill('black')
The stroke_width setting won't have any effect on the text. I also never saw any variation from using the font_style or font_weight settings. I'm not sure if turning off antialiasing has any effect on text, since I now have that commented out in my code. I still turn off antialiasing when drawing lines because I only draw rectangles. On an angled line you might need it. The font you choose may also have something to do with it. Run convert -list font at the command line to see the available fonts and families on your system.
