Hi,
convert -pointsize 12 -kerning 1 label:Anthony label_kerning_1.gif
not works. It throwed:
"convert: unrecognized option `-kerning' @ convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2698."
any ideas?
regards

Try ImageMagick 6.4.7-10, the latest release. The -kerning option works for us.

I confirmed that -kerning is not in latest IM 6.4.7-10, at least in Freebsd, and in winxp also
I'm using latest Q16 version in both OSs.
Ver in windows I just downloaded and started using from yesterday.
localhost% convert -pointsize 12 -kerning 1 label:Anthony label_kerning_1.gif
convert: unrecognized option `-kerning' @ convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2698.
localhost% convert | grep kerning
localhost% convert -version

localhost% convert | grep spac
-colorspace type alternate image colorspace
-quantize colorspace reduce colors in this colorspace
This means we must wait ver 6.4.8???
letter-spacing's really important...

Apparently you must wait for the ImageMagick 6.4.8-0 release to use kerning and interword spacing-- the wait is over. 6.4.8-0 is ready for download now.

Thanks for fast response

kerning works in 6.4.8.
thanks

Examples of usage is in IM Examples, though it may take a day for them all to appear.
