Word wrap issues with caption

[qaz123]

is this a bug in imagemagick? somehow when i type the following, word wrap works fine.

Code: Select all

convert -size 400x300 -font Arial-Bold -pointsize 40 -kerning -3 -interline-spacing -10 -gravity NorthWest -background black -fill white caption:"this is a very very very very very very long sentence to test for word wrapping for caption with image magick, the word wrap." -flatten output.png

but when i add some garbage in the sentence the it goes off the canvas.....

Code: Select all

convert -size 400x300 -font Arial-Bold -pointsize 40 -kerning -3 -interline-spacing -10 -gravity NorthWest -background black -fill white caption:"this is a very very very very very very long sentence to test for word wrapping for caption dfg dfgdf gdfg fdgdfg dfg with image magick, the word wrap." -flatten output.png

Why is this? btw, I'm using IM 6.6.9-6 on Windows 7, I'm only testing on Windows, can someone help me determine if Linux has the same problem? I'm hoping this can work on Linux.

This works fine for me under IM 6.6.9.8 Q16 Mac OSX Tiger. Perhaps an upgrade will help.

I tried with the latest version but the problem still persists, maybe I should try it on linux

Check your version of freetype. IM uses that for the font rendering.
