Description Dov Grobgeld 2006-05-29 12:52:55 UTC

Description of problem:

Using display or convert on an svg file with text elements does not render
these. The problem appears to be that ImageMagick by default refers to the
MicroSoft Arial font. The same problem also occurs if the Arial font is
explicitely referenced in the SVG text elements. 

The problem is in the file:

/usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.2.5/config/type-windows.xml

that references the directory /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType  that should
contain the windows fonts.

The problem may be solved by installing the msttcorefonts package and then
either setting up symbolic links to resolve the type-windows.xml dependencies,
or just moving msttcorefont to default/TrueType .

(This bug is annoying as it stops mediawiki from turning svg files into png
files by the default converter ImageMagick.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ImageMagick-6.2.5.4-4.2.1.fc5.3

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open up inkscape and create some graphics with text elements. Save as an svg
file.
2. Display the resulting svg file with display.

  
Actual results:

Graphics is displayed without the text elements.

Expected results:

Seeing the text.

Quick intro: I'm now a comaintainer of ImageMagick, and thus going through all
the open bugs.

magick-config.h now prefixes all its defines with MAGICKCORE_, closing.

Oops wrong bug, reopening this bug is still valid for our current release!
