Hello
I try to create an image with text and border around the image with a background texture. my problem is that the text is pasted to the edge to the left, and when I try to add a "space" before the text that is ignored but if I add a "space" in the end it works
Code: Select all
convert -resize "240x114>" -extent 240x114 -background black -gravity center -fill white -pointsize 125 -size x114 -font "barata.ttf" label:" My text " -alpha off -trim \( -clone 0 -tile texture_finale.jpg -draw "color 0,0 reset" -fill "#C3F000" -colorize 50% \) \( -clone 0 -fill none -colorize 100% \) -reverse -compose over -composite -alpha set -virtual-pixel transparent -channel A -blur 0x0.7 -level 50,100% +channel \( +clone -background black -shadow 80x3-3+3 \) +swap -background none -layers merge +repage

Adding spaces before and after the text should work. It has worked for me, for years. But your v6.7.7-10 is very very old.
EDIT: Oh, wait, then you "-trim". Well, that trims off the spaces.

\( -clone 0 -fill none -colorize 100% \)

It isn't a valid "convert" command. The last thing in a "convert" command must be an output name (usually a filename).

\( -clone 0 -fill none -colorize 100% \)
-reverse -compose over -composite

It does seem to have broken, sometime after v6.9.2-5. I suggest you reduce it to the simplest case and report it in the bugs forum.

You think that an update may fix the problem?

You should generally use the most recent version available if you can. But even with IM 7.0.2-10 on Windows 10 a space at the beginning of a label disappears. For this issue you may need to escape the space at the start of your label text. Something like...

This is an issue even with a current release ImageMagick 7.0.2-10 running on Windows 10 64. When I run this command to test several labels...
Code: Select all
magick -pointsize 48 ^
label:"My Text 1 2 3" ^
label:" My Text 1 2 3 " ^
label:"\ My Text 1 2 3 " ^
label:" My Text 1 2 3 " ^
label:"\ My Text 1 2 3 " ^
-bordercolor gray -background gray -border 10x10 -append output.png
... you can see how all the spaces at the beginning of the text string in a "label" get removed if the first one isn't escaped with a backslash "\".
This may be a bug that needs to be addressed by the developers, or it may just be if a space is the first character in the "label" it needs to be escaped to make it work.

I opened a thread in the "Bugs" section of the forum and provided an example command and output image.
