Other notes:
- As an fyi: I believe there is a bug report for pango+Windows that Anthony maybe assigned to himself a year ago - I saw that somewhere.
- I don't see any open issues at github that are similar.

A Similar Problem @ ImageMagick Forum
https://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server ...

Some things I tried this AM.
1. downloaded imagick_type_gen (chrome sees it as a python file; add a pl extension instead)
2. tried running imagick_type_gen.pl with no options - can't do; script uses "locate", and there is no analog for a "whence"-type program under Win
3. created a listing of ttf ...

I am just asking you to tell me what the suffix is on the fonts that fail. Do all the the fonts with a same suffix fail?


Thanks for your patience fmw.

IM sees ttf and ttc fonts - literally hundreds. Of the 22 that process correctly with pango, they are all ttf files .

There are also fon files ...

fmw42 wrote: 2018-07-20T14:35:28-07:00 I was asking about .ttf vs other types (suffixes). Which suffix type fails or is it font by font irrespective of the type of font?

I think that last post before my posts today has those fonts listed. I will review those lists and confirm back so you aren't wasting your time on this.

A bit of background.

Basically, I am trying to figure out how I will package IM_portable_Win10 with my project (MS VS 2017). In this respect, I am trying to figure out what will need to be configured up-front (like available fonts, ENV variables, etc.) so that selections can be limited (if ...

What types of fonts do not work. ImageMagick cannot use every type of font. Limitations come from either freetype or fontconfig delegate libraries. I am not sure of the limitations of PANGO. It may be restricted on the types of fonts it can use. But I am not an expert of PANGO and what fonts it ...

Thanks a lot for your response. I am running under win10.

Should I use this "type" file?
http://www.imagemagick.org/source/type-windows.xml

type-windows.xml seems to have most of the fonts on my system.

But type-windows.xml was not included with the portable installation.

Should I set $MAGICK ...

A few weeks ago I documented some issues in this thread about problems with fonts under win10 when using pango.

Since there haven't been any additional insights, and since I'm kinda new in "IM-land", I'm wondering if I should move this thread over to the "bugs" section.

No worries if not, just ...

I've been using the following command line with the -geometry option. It works as expected, and no errors or warnings are thrown.


"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick\composite" -gravity NorthEast -geometry +95+95.6 image_1b.png image_0b.png image_6-01.png


QUESTION:
What does IM do with the decimal ...

I've been using IM for about a month now. I've read all of the man and example pages. Every day I discover something new. (Like today, someone reported a bug with "-dissolve", which I hadn't experimented with - I then worked with the -dissolve option, and I'll likely include it in my project.)

Very ...

Summary:
I've been having problems getting certain fonts to work properly with convert+pango under win10.

Most fonts processed by "convert" under win10 (my system) give warnings. I can live with the fonts that it does process properly, but would like to understand more about the fonts that give ...

Hi - thanks again fmw. I tried using the full path in my input text file. Did it both ways (unix, win).

Here are the command lines and warnings.

C:\0\mm>"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick\convert" -size 1024x768 -background "#10253F" -gravity Center pango:"@itext_3.txt" image_3.jpg

Summary:
I've been working with the pango markup in an input text file.

I still can't seem to get fonts to process properly. And I may be way off - a little guidance will be helpful.

My Win10 system sees the fonts listed in the op.

Convert command line.

"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick\convert ...

I see it now. I’ll work with it more tomorrow. Thanks again.

This is likely relevant, so I'll dig into this for now.

[update]
The link above describes the same problem that someone ran into around nov-2017.

If you set fonts and sizes in the pango markup, instead of on the command line, it’ll ...
