Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello, I have one small goal. I'm trying to convert a piece of text to an image. I tried some of the samples (Anthony's) provided and here are my errors on Mac OSX

$convert -background lightblue -fill blue -font Candice -size 165x70 label:Anthony label_size.gif
sh: line 1: gs: command not found
sh: line 1: gs: command not found
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `/var/tmp/magick-XdYQzR7Z'.
sh: line 1: gs: command not found
sh: line 1: gs: command not found
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `/var/tmp/magick-EuYdFMZx'.
convert: unable to get type metrics `Anthony'.
convert: missing an image filename `label_size.gif'.



Thanks.

I would say you do not have Ghostscript installed or ImageMagick can not find it.
I thought Ghostscript was just used for pdf documents but it seems it may be used for anything to do with text.

Thanks, I'm going to install this week and try again. Thank you.
