ImageMagick, ghostscript, and freetype are all installed and up2date. But I get this error from "convert": convert -fill red -draw 'rectangle 639,502 640,521' -draw 'rectangle 630,511 649,512' -box white -fill black -draw 'text 642,509 "50.13.748 8.46.030"' /tmp/geo2716-imap.gif /tmp/geo2716-map.gif convert: FreeType library is not available (/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/n019003l.pfb). Works fine on RH7.2 and RH8.0. But not on FC2T1. I really don't know where the problem lies.
Oh yeah, you can get the whole 'geo-map' shell script to generate custom test cases from here: http://geo.rkkda.com.
$ root rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/convert ImageMagick-5.5.7.15-0.2 $ root rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libfreetype.so freetype-devel-2.1.7-1
Seeing the same problem here, clean FC1 install, all up2date as of this 3/10/2004. Command: DTE=`/bin/date` /usr/bin/convert IMAGE.JPG -type truecolormatte \ -fill '#00000080' -draw 'rectangle 5,5,190,25' \ -fill white -draw "text 10,20 '$DTE'" \ test.jpg Result: /usr/bin/convert: FreeType library is not available (/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/n019003l.pfb).
fixed in ImageMagick-5.5.7.15-1.3
I am using ImageMagick-5.5.7-16 convert -fill blue -draw "text 100,100 Cockatoo" temp2.png temp3.png convert: FreeType library is not available (/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/n019003l.pfb). I get same error no matter how I word the command with different font options. If I'm doing any kind of text it spits out that error.
@John Beatty: Where did you get ImageMagick-5.5.7-16 ? I don't think that's one of our packages. As far as I know 5.5.7.15-1.3 is the latest one for fedora-core-2.
I apologize I'm not very knowledgeable with the Linux world. I evidentially have Red Hat Linux 7.2 (Enigma). I found this post doing a web search and its the only information I could find that mentions the exact same bug I'm getting. If you have anything else you can tell me or someoen to contact about it I would greatly appreciate it. My problem is exactly as its been described here so maybe there is something you can have me try to resolve it. Thanks!
It is likely you do not install freetype-devel. Imagemagick require both freetype & freetype-devel package installed on the system before you can use the font.So you need to recompile ImageMagick with both library installed.
