I've been having difficulty with the caption command not wordwrapping correctly, the consensus seems to be that this was an issue with the font I was using.
In an attempt to fix this I just spent $100 buying a whole new set of fonts from linotype.com. All are OTF fonts.
For all 3 IM throws the following error:
convert: unable to read font `/root/fb/ram/shared/NewOldEnglish.otf' @ error/annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1123.
It then goes into an endless loop, continually displaying the above error line after line.
"identify -list format | grep font" displays:
DFONT* r-- Multi-face font package (Freetype 2.3.11)
OTF* r-- Open Type font (Freetype 2.3.11)
PFA* r-- Postscript Type 1 font (ASCII) (Freetype 2.3.11)
PFB* r-- Postscript Type 1 font (binary) (Freetype 2.3.11)
TTC* r-- TrueType font collection (Freetype 2.3.11)
TTF* r-- TrueType font (Freetype 2.3.11)
convert --version

Re: convert: unable to read font
Here is one of the fonts that does not load in IM. It's free for personal use, so should be no problems with my linking to it here:
