Fresh install on OSX: unable to read font

[Stitch_X]

Hi,

I installed ImageMagick on a fresh OSX install using sudo port install ImageMagick. (Version: ImageMagick 6.4.1 06/21/08 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org)

Using convert i get those creepy ghostscript errors so i installed ghostscript.
(why doesnt it use freetype anyway? as port installs it!)

Still every time i try convert i get thousands of "convert: unable to read font " messages.

Code: Select all

convert: unable to read font `/Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Arial'.
convert: unable to read font `/Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Arial'.
convert: unable to read font `/Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Arial'.
convert: unable to read font `/Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Arial'.

Any other font i tried with -font also fails.

Fonts are listed

Code: Select all

X-X-macbook:~ X$ convert -list font

Path: System Fonts
  Font: #GungSeo-標準體
    family: #GungSeo
    style: Normal
    stretch: Normal
    weight: 400
  Font: #HeadLineA-標

Reinstalling with port results in the same stuff.

Now i'm very unhappy with this kind of user experience, especially because i did nothing wrong.

Whats up with this?
