As I stated at the start of the thread, I'm running WIndows 7, not Linux and have not installed Perl. iM already knows about the font and its location since it appears in the output from convert -list fonts as shown above in my first post. My understanding based on experimentation and the comments ...

If someone could point me to the relevant section/files of source code for the -remap implementation, I might be able to get a working version for my own use.

Thanks.

-font "MS-Gothic-&-MS-PGothic-&-MS-UI-Gothic" with required quotes does work.
-font msgothic does not.

The link to image text handling was extremely helpful, independent of Pango http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/ Some of those examples use -font mincho whereas I still need to use -font c:/windows/fonts/msmincho.ttc . Is there some setting that I am missing that allows the shorter version of the ...

The suggestion to use TTC: as a prefix had no effect, but specifying the complete path as convert -background #000 -fill #0F0 -pointsize 64 -font c:/windows/fonts/msgothic.ttc label:hello! test.gif ran without error. The resultant image, however, has widely spaced characters, but that is perhaps a ...

I am using iM 6.7.7-8 on Windows 7 32-bit to create simple labels using various fonts. It seems that if I specify a font that resolves to .ttf glyphs the process works, whereas if the font resolves to a .ttc font collection it fails, even through iM seems to know about the font. A partial listing ...

I am trying to exactly specify the colormap of a .gif image. Although the -remap option does use the specified colors, it shuffles the order in the output colormap. The original discussion is found in the User Forum http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=21322&p=87006#p87006 ...

Thanks. I'll check the developers forum. I also tried GraphicMagick which has a similar convert -map option to specify a colormap. Like iM, the output uses only the colors specified in the colormap, and scrambles the order in colormap, but in a different manner than iM.

Thanks for the quick responses. Experimentally the order of the input file and first option make no difference to the output. The +dither makes no difference, possibly since my input images contain only colors that are already in the palette. In fact, if I give as input a .gif image that already has ...

The cmap.gif image is one row of 16 pixels with color indices from 0 to 15. There are 16 entries in the gif colormap/palette. When I run convert -remap cmap.gif input.png output.gif I get a 4-bit (16-color) .gif file as output with a colormap/palette that has the same colors as cmap.gif, but in a ...

Converting to a png palette image with -remap and -define png:preserve-colormap gives the same result as converting to gif. The output colormap/palette DOES contain all of the colors from the remap specified input, but it alters the order.

-define png:preserve-colormap has no effect using IM 6.7.7-8. My reading of the documentation is that this is for ENCODING png files, while I am trying to encode a .gif file. I hoped there there would be some form of -define remap:preserve-colormap option to map the image exactly to the desired ...

I am using Image Magick Q8 on Windows 7 to add new images to an ancient display program that accepts .gif file input but uses a fixed colormap with no ability to alter the colormap for individual images. Specifically, I want to save .gif conversions of other images with a specified colormap. The ...
