Hello!
I have problem to select an desired font to ImageMagick. (Windows XP)

Name on fonts in windows have often spaces in the windows font names
(for examples. "Lucida Sans" "Loki Cola" "Sheer Beauty" "Georgia Bold Italic" ....)

If I want use a font with spaces in their name I get the following error message.
"convert: unable to read font 'Sheer Beauty' @ annotate.c/RenderType/807."

I have tried to solve the problem, but failed
It doesn't help to write ...... -font "Loki Cola" ......
I can´t rename the font name..... (or I don't know how)
ImageMagick seems select the font name (not the filename)

and I get error message: ".....Unable to read font........
