Right - I managed to upgrade IM to the latest version (6.9.2). The problem does still manifest itself.

Any thoughts?

I'm a little scared to upgrade IM as it took me an age to get it installed. I ended up having to use MAMP as it was bundled with it and worked almost out of the box. Is it an easy process?

I am using ImageMagick v6.7.5 on OSX under Bitnami MAMP to output some quotations into a large image. I take a background, then overlay a famous quotation and its author, then save the image.
