Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. Quick intro: I'm now a comaintainer of ImageMagick, and thus going through all the open bugs. We no longer ship a (possible stale) copy of the website in /usr/share/doc, closing. |
Description of problem: ImageMagick documentation in in file:///usr/share/doc/ImageMagick-6.2.5/www/command-line-options.html#draw claims that feeding 'convert' an option -draw 'text 100,100 "Works like magick!"' should annotate a converted image with a text like the above. Well, it does not until one will guess that also is needed something like -font Helvetica where the only acceptable font names seem to be, by experiment, the ones which occur in 'Fontmap.GS' file from ghostscript. What is written at file:///usr/share/doc/ImageMagick-6.2.5/www/command-line-options.html#font does not seem to lead anywhere. Do I miss some other names which can be accepted with -font as well? In any case a default font for -draw 'text ....' would be a good start and if such font indeed does exist then it is not accesible and the whole procedure fails silently. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ImageMagick-6.2.5.4-1
