When I try to convert from an EPS (that I generated manually) to a PNG. The text is clipped too much at the bottom. Is there any way I can work around these? I'm attaching the two files so you can see what I'm talking about.

The image when converted to a PNG looks like : https://www.dropbox.com/s/c8f3gmzkymmeboq/Test.png?dl=0

Edit: I have tried different variables to try and get a better result out of Imagemagick. I am using ImageMagick version 6.8.9-10.

Questions I have:

1. Will converting it to a different format before converting it to a PNG help?
2. Will converting it to a much higher resolution and then to the require resolution help?

It converts fine for me, with IM v6.9.2-5 and Ghostscript 9.15 on Windows 8.1.

What version of GS are you running?

Looks like dropbox doesn't show the file as expected. Posting it to imgur.



The bottom part is cut off in the image as you can see.

I am using GS version 9.05 on Ubuntu.

With ... ... my result is 96x37 pixels. Yours is only 71x27. I suggest you upgrade GS.

Your original EPS has its anti-aliased bottom edges slightly clipped by the bottom of the image. This seems to be marginally worse in the IM 6.9.4.4. conversion using Ghostscript 9.16 (for me). But I think the issue is that your EPS image is slightly too short vertically for the text you have drawn. I suspect if you give the EPS image a slightly larger vertical dimension, so that it is not not clipping any of the anti-aliasing at the bottom, it will convert better.

I get:
Test.eps PS 96x37 96x37+0+0 16-bit sRGB 1.15KB 0.000u 0:00.000
Test1.png PNG 96x37 96x37+0+0 8-bit sRGB 1.14KB 0.000u 0:00.009

For visual comparison, I used

Looks like you're right fred. I'm gonna look at the GS and how it generates the eps files. Thank you for the help snibgo and fred!
