possible bug caption IM 6.8.5.9 Q16

[fmw42]

I know caption was just adjusted. So I ran some tests with my scripts and find some differences between versions. I cannot say for sure which is correct, but for the text I have tested the current result does not look optimal. Seems a bit too much padding?

Here are some simple tests over a number of IM versions.

im6840 convert -size 100x100 -background white -fill black -font arial -gravity center caption:"this is a test" 1tmp_6840.gif



im6819 convert -size 100x100 -background white -fill black -font arial -gravity center caption:"this is a test" 1tmp_6819.gif



im67610 convert -size 100x100 -background white -fill black -font arial -gravity center caption:"this is a test" 1tmp_67610.gif



im67410 convert -size 100x100 -background white -fill black -font arial -gravity center caption:"this is a test" 1tmp_67410.gif



If the current version is a reasonable compromise, it is OK. I just want to be sure.
