Postscript

Post by ridera »

I'm using this command and it is creating the thumbnail; but, the label is missing.
/usr/local/bin/montage -debug exception /home/xxxxx/public_html/test/images/naia96ribelt346_12.jpg -label %f -size 50 -frame 5 /home/xxxxx/public_html/test/images/naia96ribelt346_12_tb.gif


And I'm getting this error msg.
Array
(
[0] => 19:30:23 0:01 0.130u 6.2.8 Exception montage[15340]: ps.c/ReadPSImage/632/Exception
[1] => Postscript delegate failed `/tmp/magick-XXTnAdTm'
)


Do I need to get tech support on my virtual host to fix something?

Looks like your version of ImageMagick does not include support for the Freetype delegate library. However, it should gracefully fall back to using Postscript. We'll take a look and add a patch to ImageMagick 6.3.2-2 Beta within the next few days.

Also you MUST specify -label BEFORE reading the image.

OR use -set label '%f' AFTER reading in the images.

-label is a setting that only applyes to images being read-in or created AFTER it is set.
the -set is an operator that applys to images that are already in memory.
