Imagemagic only reads gs fonts ???

Post by Jesper72 »

I have been toying with annotation and labeling photos in Imagemagic, and so far so good the scripts work, BUT the only work with the font sellection from Ghostscrip fonts.
I can't get around changing the path to include all fonts.

Please help

Path: /usr/lib/ImagMagick/config/type-ghostscript.mgk
