Using TTC Font Files with ImageMagick

Post by dereklitz »

Hey guys I'm a bit confused about using TTC files with ImageMagick. These files basically contain multiple similar fonts for space savings...

Using the following script:

http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/script ... k_type_gen

Usage of which is described here: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/#font

However, it doesn't even load TTC files.

If I specify the file path directly to the TTC files it seems to render one of the fonts, which is useful if I happens to use the font that I wanted it to.

How do I actually make this work so I can specify any font contained within the TTC file?

I am not sure IM allow TTC fonts. What are they?

It is usually TTF.

If you can use them by direct path, then Anthony's script may not recognize ttc format fonts or you are not using it correctly? He would have to comment.
