Started using Mogrify for watermarking just today.
Worked successfully for a time and then started getting export failure from Lightroom

Windows dialogue failure box says:
ImageMagick Studio library and utility programs has stopped working

Log file contents:

The error occured when trying to run this command:
"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.5.5-Q16\mogrify.exe" -virtual-pixel mirror -font "Bookman-Demi" -undercolor "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0)" -gravity SouthWest -fill "rgba(100.00%,100.00%,100.00%,1.00)" -density 72 -pointsize 24 -annotate 0x0+0+0 "@C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Local\Temp\lr2mtext-8.txt" -density 72 -type TrueColor -strip -quality 52 "C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Local\Temp\LR-3-3.jpg"

FYI: we did not write nor do we support LR2/Mogrify. In addition, the problem appears to be with your installation of Ghostscript used for rendering the Bookman-Demi font. Try downloading and reinstalling Ghostscript or use the much better internal ImageMagick font renderer by substituting a TrueType font for Bookman-Demi (e.g. -font arial.ttf).

I do realize that Mogrify was written by someone else. I've have sent them an email too.

Although I never, knowingly, installed Ghostscript, I did try some other fonts and eventually found that arial seems to work. I was able to successfully export using the Bookman-demi font before it started to fail, so I won't be able to tell if this font change fixes things permanently. For now, I'm back in business.
