convert: unable to read font
Posted: 2012-05-19T20:35:59-07:00
I've been having difficulty with the caption command not wordwrapping correctly, the consensus seems to be that this was an issue with the font I was using.
In an attempt to fix this I just spent $100 buying a whole new set of fonts from linotype.com. All are OTF fonts.
For all 3 IM throws the following error:
convert: unable to read font `/root/fb/ram/shared/NewOldEnglish.otf' @ error/annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1123.
It then goes into an endless loop, continually displaying the above error line after line.
"identify -list format | grep font" displays:
DFONT* r-- Multi-face font package (Freetype 2.3.11)
OTF* r-- Open Type font (Freetype 2.3.11)
PFA* r-- Postscript Type 1 font (ASCII) (Freetype 2.3.11)
PFB* r-- Postscript Type 1 font (binary) (Freetype 2.3.11)
TTC* r-- TrueType font collection (Freetype 2.3.11)
TTF* r-- TrueType font (Freetype 2.3.11)
convert --version

Any ideas?
