Re: Line breaks when drawing text

I suggest you use the same method to generate the label for both purposes -- for the user's approval on the web page, and for sending to the printer. If you use two different methods, you are in for a world of grief trying to ensure the two are the same. Not helped by the massively different ...

Re: Line breaks when drawing text

If you have PANGO installed and where IM can find it, then IM should automatically access if you reinstall IM. IM is already in constant use on the server doing other tasks, so reinstalling it is not a minor task! Unfortunately I can't even get pango to work locally on my machine (missing DLLs ...

Re: Line breaks when drawing text

Please identify the exact IM commands you used to make the images you are comparing. We will need to get the same font to test your command. You might install PANGO and use it. It is more flexible than caption: see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#pango The command I used is; convert -size ...

Re: Line breaks when drawing text

What are you trying to do? Different web browsers use different rules. If you need to reproduce the exact look of a particular browser, then screen-capture seems the obvious solution. It's for a labeling system so users can make up a label on a webpage and send them in for printing. No chance of ...

Re: Line breaks when drawing text

However , you have a conflict between the specified pointsize and the specified width and height. It cannot use the specified pointsize and fill the width exactly. However, if you remove the pointsize it will allow it to fill the width and give you close to what you want. Unfortunately I have no ...

Re: Line breaks when drawing text

Thanks for the swift reply! The font I used was a google font (Bangers) and I got the file from there. Pretty similar to Arial. Should I flag this up as a bug then? I don't want to seem bolshy on my first post! Seems like the letter spacing and line spacing are causing the issue as individual ...

Line breaks when drawing text

Hi Guys! I hope you can help me with a problem I've been knocking my head against. I want to use ImageMagick to produce an image of a DIV on a web page. The DIV has width, height, font name and font size, so I use the command; convert -size 466x108 -background transparent -fill #000000 -font "Font ...
