Font List

Post by riegel »

Is there a command to list the available fonts to the underlying ImageMagick System.

I found the answer which has created a new question. I would like to add fonts to the System, but to do so I would need to identify the details of the font. I tried identify to determine the characteristics, but this is what I got. Does ImageMagick identify font files?

Code: Select all

-bash-2.05b# identify /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/a010013l.afm
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
-bash-2.05b# identify /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/a010013l.pfb
/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/a010013l.pfb PFB 800x480 DirectClass 34kb 0.156u 0:01
-bash-2.05b#

ImageMagick 6.2.7-0 Beta uses fontconfig under Linux to list all the fonts on your system. You can also use Anthony's script, http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/graph ... k_type_gen to generate a type.xml font listing file.
