Description of problem: Fedora's ImageMagick is configured with --with-windows-font-dir. Fedora doesn't ship windows fonts (as far as I know) and when you enable this option in configure, programs/libraries that use ImageMagick (RMagick for example) may assume that if ImageMagick was configured --with-windows-font-dir, that they can directly reference windows font files. (RMagick goes for verdana and arial font files (/usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType/verdana.ttf, etc.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Latest (ImageMagick-6.3.2.9-3.fc7). How reproducible: Always (unless windows fonts are installed). Actual results: Library (RMagick) using ImageMagick fails to load the windows fonts that --with-windows-font-dir implies. Expected results: Libraries are not mislead, and Fedora excludes the --with-windows-font-dir option as we do not ship windows fonts.

Quick intro: I'm now a comaintainer of ImageMagick, and thus going through all the open bugs. This bug is a duplicate of bug 193474, marking as such. Note this bug is fixed since atleast F-8. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 193474 ***
This bug remains in RHEL5 as up Update 2
(In reply to comment #3) > This bug remains in RHEL5 as up Update 2 Dear sir, This bug was filed against Fedora, and as such this issue is fixed in Fedora. If you want to see this fixed in RHEL, you need to open an issue with RHEL support for this.
