Overlaying a strokewidth=0 on a strokewidth=20 is properly centered vertically but not horizontally. It is off by half the strokewidth.

Is this a bug?

# get optimal size
size=`convert -background none -font Tahoma -fill red -pointsize 100 -stroke red -strokewidth 20 label:"Test text" -format "%wx%h" info:`

# This fails to center properly horizontally
convert -size $size xc:none \
-gravity center -font Tahoma -fill red -pointsize 100 -stroke red -strokewidth 20 -annotate +0+0 "Test text" \
-gravity center -font Tahoma -fill white -pointsize 100 -stroke white -strokewidth 0 -annotate +0+0 "Test text" result1.png




convert -size $size xc:none \
-gravity center -font Tahoma -fill red -pointsize 100 -stroke red -strokewidth 20 -annotate +0+0 "Test text" \
-gravity center -font Tahoma -fill white -pointsize 100 -stroke white -strokewidth 0 -annotate -10+0 "Test text" result2.png

This does look like a bug to me. When you make the background xc:green instead of xc:none you will notice that the red text is not centered. I think the text should be centered. Maybe magick can tell us if this is by design?

This issue does not seem to have been resolved yet in 6.9.1.3 beta. As far as I can tell, it still has an offset.

We can reproduce the problem you posted and have a patch in ImageMagick 6.9.1-4 Beta, available by sometime tomorrow. Thanks.
