Hi,

can anybody help me to find a way to install new fonts for Imagemagick?

Yes, I could list my fonts and already read http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/ "Font Usage".
Yes, I know sites: Free Fonts or 1001 Fonts.
Yes, I've already checked topics here and I have my "imagick_type_gen".

Please...

place the fonts somewhere anywhere on your system.

Either wait a day or run (as the superuser 'updatedb')

now run

Code: Select all

mkdir ~/.magick/
imagick_type_gen > ~/.magick/type.xml
And check it with

Code: Select all

  convert -list type
or on a newer IM

Code: Select all

  convert -list font
