interline-spacing is not working

Hello,
System:
IM Version: ImageMagick 6.3.7 11/16/10
Apache/2.2.9 (Debian Linux)

When I use interline-spacing, nothing happens. The whole convert command won't work.

Examples (from imagemagick.org)
Below is not working:

Code: Select all

convert -interline-spacing -10  label:'First\nSecond' files/spacing_test.png
But this one works:

Code: Select all

convert label:'First\nSecond' files/spacing_test.png

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Your version of IM is way too old. Those feature such as kerning and interline spacing were added much later than your version 6.3.7.

From the changelog page http://www.imagemagick.org/script/changelog.php:

2009-09-07 6.5.5-8 Cristy <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
Add -interline-spacing option to convert.
