Description Jared Brown 2007-02-05 22:36:27 UTC

Description of problem:

ImageMagick includes type-windows.xml by default. MS Core Fonts are not
installed by default. This causes errors when compiling extensions that rely on
ImageMagick for font management.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.2.8.0-3.fc6.1@i386


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install ImageMagick-devel (Install dependencies)
2. Install Ruby and RubyGems
3. Run "sudo gem install rmagick"
  
Actual results:

rmagick fails to install because it errors out when Arial and Verdana can not be
found

Expected results:

rmagick should install succesfully

Additional info:

This is a bug because ImageMagick is managing fonts that do not exist.

This is also a problem in RHEL5: Pretty easy to see the problem...

Start with a fresh minimal install of RHEL5:

# yum install ImageMagick
# convert label:abcdef test.gif
convert: unable to read font `/usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType/arial.ttf'.

Comment 2 Ian Neubert 2007-09-11 18:58:29 UTC

Its also easy to fix, just remove the reference to windows fonts in the
ImageMagick XML config /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.2.8/config/type.xml
