svg to png not converting text

[kruser]

Hello,

I am attempting to convert a svg file to png. Imagemagick converts the rectangle but not the text. Is my server install no good or ?

svg file:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg width="490" height="500" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<g style="fill:#FFFF00;stroke:#FFFF00;opacity:1;">
<rect x="0" y="0"  width="480" height="100" rx="10" ry="10" />
</g>

<g style="fill:none;stroke:#006400;stroke-width:2;stroke-opacity:1;">
<rect x="6" y="6"  width="468" height="88" rx="10" ry="10"/>
</g>

<g style="font-family:arial;font-size:12;">
<text x="28" y="65" >Hello World</text>
</g>


</svg>

Type

• convert -list configure

Is Freetype associated with the DELEGATES tag? Its required for proper font rendering. If Freetype is not available, ImageMagick reverts to Postscript fonts which requires the Ghostscript delegate library or program (i.e. gs).

We did try your SVG with ImageMagick 6.4.4-1, the current release, and it rendered properly without complaint.

Magic,

Thanks for the reply. Have been working on this all day. Could not get ImageMagick to convert svg to png with my current host. So I opened a new account with one of the biggest hosting companies to test this on their server. Guess what? It does not convert the svg text. It converts the rectangles but not the text.

Someone please try a convert on your system with the above svg file, then view the new png image to see if the text is in the new image file? If it works with your hosting company, please give me their name.

I would like to check for Freetype but I do not know how to use the command line.

Best Regards,
Randy

Look at Rubble Web, which shows how you can run various convert from PHP to find out the build information for the IM "Convert" command you are using.

Without more information it is very difficult to help.

Anthony,

Thanks for the suggestion to look at the Rubble website as it does contain good information on using PHP to access ImageMagick. One of the pages I found useful was http://www.rubblewebs.biz/imagemagick/b ... xplain.php

Was able to use php to view list configure.

How do I tell if the Freetype is associated with DELEGATES

what PHP code did you use? your results are missing the line that starts with DELEGATES

put

convert -list configure

into your exec command or whatever you are using. Then you should get a line in the resulting printout that looks something like:

DELEGATES bzlib fontconfig freetype gs jpeg jp2 lcms lqr openexr png tiff x11 xml zlib


If you have installed ghostscript and freetype to IM's satisfaction, then you should see "freetype gs" included in the list

The PHP script I used is

Code: Select all

<html>
<head>
<title>Test for ImageMagick list configure</title>
</head>
<body>

 <?
function alist ($array) { 
  $alist = "<ul>";
  for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($array); $i++) {
    $alist .= "<li>$array[$i]";
  }
  $alist .= "</ul>";
  return $alist;
}
exec("convert -list configure", $out); 
echo alist($out); 
?>

</body>
</html>

I have no idea why DELEGATES is not there.

Randy

Your version is VERSION 6.0.7, which is extremely OLD. Perhaps you should update. The DELEGATES line may have changed since your version. Your version shows:

# LIBS -lMagick -ltiff -lfreetype -ljpeg -lpng -ldpstk -ldps -lXext -lXt -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lbz2 -lxml2 -lz -lpthread -lm -lpthread

Which may now be replaced with Delegates???

I suggest you upgrade to the latest version (6.4.4-1), about 400 minor releases newer.

Seems like you are missing ghostscript from the above list. So you may want to add that along with all the other (upgraded) delegates.

Thanks for the update suggestion. Appreciate it!
