what package installs pfb file support?

Post by wpns »

When I do

convert -background black -fill white -font Times-Roman -pointsize 15 label:'FrontDoorCam.GeekHo.com 2009-10-08 00:00:03' /home/Movies/FDlabel.jpg

I get:

convert: delegate library support not built-in `/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/n021003l.pfb' (Freetype) @ annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1416

The font file is in the indicated place, but convert doesn't seem to know how to handle it. What package do I need to install? I don' t have apt, I do have yum, if that makes any difference.

Are there any other common packages I should install to round out my (Centos 5) system? I've done libjpg, which got me .JPG support.

Thanks!

Type
  • identify -list format
You want the PDB tag to read:
  • PFB* TTF r-- Postscript Type 1 font (binary) (Freetype 2.3.9)
If not, you need to reinstall ImageMagick after you first install the Freetype delegate library and its header files (.e.g freetype.h).

I found:

yum install libjpeg-devel libpng-devel glib2-devel fontconfig-devel zlib-devel libwmf-devel freetype-devel libtiff-devel jasper jasper-devel ghostscript-fonts

[and then rebuild ImageMagick and PerlMagick from the source, as before]

Seems to work, now to redo the other debugging...

Thanks!
