Downloaded your ALPHABET.TXT, ran your convert and got the same thing that you show. Took the new lines out, saved it from NotePad with encoding: UTF-8, ran your convert and got the same prepended string of characters as I discuss above. Took the new lines out, saved it from NotePad with encoding ...

I'm building a strike font to include not only ascii 32 to 127 but also extended ascii 128 to 155. These are printable characters (maybe not all in courier) but in some other monospaced font. I need the glyphs for these characters. The technique will be applied to other fonts beside courier.

Quotes make no diff.

convert xc:white -font \windows\fonts\cour.ttf -pointsize 12 label:@characters.txt courier12.bmp

Interesting... this produces two files:

courier12-0.bmp containing a white square
courier12-1.bmp containing the two glyphs for ascii 255 and 254

I'm trying to produce a .bmp file with glyphs for the ascii characters 32 to 255. This needs to be for a specific font and pointsize. I have a file "characters.txt" containing the 224 characters. Using IM 6.9.1-9 on Windows 7 I've tried several variations along this line: convert -font \windows ...
