Hello!

Help me please!

I use next command:

convert -size 300x100 xc:lightblue -font '/var/www/photos/fonts/15516.ttf' -pointsize 50 -annotate +30+70 'Photo Long Text' -blur 0x4 -fill white -stroke black -annotate +25+65 'Photo Long Text' result.jpg

Result:


What's happing?

Version Convert:

I suspect a problem in the font, with strokes. I suggest you find the minimum command that shows the problem. For example, remove the first annotate and blur. Try an annotate with fill but no stroke, then with stroke but no fill.

If this shows the font has a stroke problem, then the cure is to use a different font.

Thank you for answer!

I tried the minimum command without font like this:
convert -size 500x100 xc:lightblue -pointsize 50 -fill white -stroke black -annotate +25+65 'Photo Long Text' result_2.jpg

Result:


And witout Pointize:
convert -size 500x100 xc:lightblue -fill white -stroke black -annotate +25+65 'Photo Long Text' result_3.jpg


The font is small, but you can still see that the letter T without a stroke

The conversions works for us meaning we get expected results (all text properly stroked). We're using ImageMagick 7.0.8-34 and 6.9.10-34, the latest IM releases.

Check your version of Freetype and be sure it is current.

Yes, it looks like a bug of this version.
I tried it on another server with the 7th version and there is no such problem ...
Very sad.

Check your version of Freetype delegate.
TTF* TTF r-- TrueType font (Freetype 2.9.1)

Is it as current as mine above?

Code: Select all

convert -list format

TTF* TTF r-- TrueType font (Freetype 2.9.1)

You're right. I have an old version.

TTF* TTF r-- TrueType font (Freetype 2.5.2)

Please, can you tell me how to upgrade to the latest?

What platform? How did you install ImageMagick and the delegates before. Sorry, I only know how to install delegates with Mac Ports.
