Issue with stroke and label: text - IM 7.0.7-39 and 6.9.9-50

[GeeMack]

Using ImageMagick 7.0.7-39 Q16 HDRI x64 and ImageMagick 6.9.9-50 Q16 HDRI x64 (and several previous versions of each), and running this command from a Windows 10 command line...

Code: Select all

magick -pointsize 100 -strokewidth 10 -stroke black -font arial label:"TESTING 1 2 3" badstroke1.png

This is the result...



Notice the strokes have a notch at one corner of each character, and there's an odd little twist on the right side center of the "3". This happens using any size stroke width, although it's nearly unnoticeable at very small widths. It happens when creating the text with "label:" or "-annotate". It also looks like the stroke width is being ignored when it's aligning the text within the "label:" canvas.

Here is an example command showing the same issue occurs in slightly different ways by using a different font...

Code: Select all

magick -pointsize 100 -strokewidth 10 -stroke black -font helvetica label:"TESTING 1 2 3" badstroke2.png

This is the result...

Fails also in IM 6.9.9.51 Q16 and IM 7.0.7.39 Q16 HDRI on my Mac OSX Sierra.
