Questions and postings pertaining to the usage of ImageMagick regardless of the interface. This includes the command-line utilities, as well as the C and C++ APIs. Usage questions are like "How do I use ImageMagick to create drop shadows?".
I believe that IM does smoothing of fonts using -draw unless you disable it with +antialias. Looks like you might be using different fonts. With -draw you can alter the stroke-width. So perhaps that is what you might need or a bolder font.
Hopefully on of the IM developers or someone more familiar with fonts in IM can answer more definitively.
