Conjure Script

[JonnyRobbie]

I'm having some problems getting to work a conjure script work properly.

Code: Select all

$ cat con_script.msl 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<image>
        <read filename="image.png" />
        <draw primitive="rectangle" stroke="#f00" fill="#0f0" x="10,20" y="30,40" />
        <draw primitive="text" fill="#00f" text="sample text" x="100" y="100" font="GohuFont" />
        <annotate text="lorem ipsumR" family="GohuFont" x="10" y="30" pointsize="6" antialias="false"/>
        <write filename="image.png" />
</image>
$ ls
con_script.msl  image.png
$ conjure con_script.msl

I have prepaded a 512x512 pure white image.png beforehand.

1. The annotate command does render text, but the font is incorrect. It does not render it in GohuFont, but what I think is Nimbus Sans. It may entirely be possible that the font is not correctly configured, but GohuFont works as my terminal font as well as if I try to change it in Firefox, so I think it might be configured right.
2. The draw command does not seem to work. Not even one of the both primitive types.

Honestly the examples here http://imagemagick.org/www/conjure.html seem to be somewhat insufficient for me. Do I hove some error in the script or in the conjure arguments?

Code: Select all

$ uname -roms && conjure -version && fc-match "GohuFont"

We can reproduce the problem you reported, give us a day or two to investigate and get back with you.

Do you mean the font issue, or even the draw issue? Thanks for looking into it.

[magick]

Try this for a rectangle:

• <draw primitive="rectangle" stroke="yellow" fill="cyan" points="10,20 60,40" />

Type

• convert -list font

Is GohuFont listed as a font? ImageMagick defaults to Arial if it can't find the font you specify.

The documentation need improving of course. Conjure is supported and we do fix issues as they arise.

[JonnyRobbie]

Gohu is indeed not listed

Code: Select all

$ convert -list font | grep Gohu

returns nothing.

Your suggested draw methid works, thank you. I have an additional question though. The draw primitive text works only if the text is part of the primitive attrubute, but it does not work if it's a part of text attribute.

Code: Select all

<draw primitive="text 80,90 'lorem ipsumRR'" fill="#00f" family="GohuFont" pointsize="6" antialias="false"/> works (wrong font though), but
<draw primitive="text 80,90" text="lorem ipsumRR" fill="#00f" family="GohuFont" pointsize="6" antialias="false"/> does not

Why is that?

[JonnyRobbie]

Ok, thank you very much.

[magick]

With the 6.9.2-0 patch available tomorrow, this will work:

• <draw primitive="text" points="100,100" fill="blue" stroke="black" text="sample text" font="GohuFont" />

[JonnyRobbie]

just one more question. Will it be a general font fix or just Gohu fix? Because I have the same problem with another font:

Code: Select all

$ convert -list font | grep "Clean"                                                                        
$ fc-match "Clean"                                                                          
clR6x12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Clean" "Regular"

[magick]

See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/ near the bottom of the page under Font Usage. There is a script that finds all the fonts on your system and makes them available to ImageMagick.
