Font problems

[troyd1]

When I do a simple:
convert -font "arial" -pointsize 24 label:"this is some text" new.jpg
it works.

If I change the font to Helvetica-BoldOblique, I get the error:
convert: unable to read font `n019024l.pfb'
convert: missing an image filename new.jpg

When I do convert -list type, Helvetica-BoldOblique is one that is listed. I am running windows 2003 server, but the font does not show up as one of the available fonts. This happens for many fonts. It appears that if I stick to the fonts available in windows, I am ok. It appears that if I use any of the fonts under ghostscript.xml, they do not work.

What is wrong? Does the list need to be rebuilt? If so, how. I just installed the latest version of im a few days ago.

Also, I installed freetype and reinstalled IM, but there was no change. Do I need ghost script also? Is there good doc on this?

The problem is the fonts defined as being available in these files for 'ghostscript' is not where IM thinks they are.

I suggest you download the use the script on the top level page of IM Examples
