pfa font and label

Well simple as this.
Here is the code:
Code: Select all
$path = "/opt/local/bin/";
$comp = '/working/www/core/html/hc/back/comp/';
$bfont = '/working/www/core/html/hc/back/fonts/c128b.pfa';
$compolay = $path.'convert -pointsize 72 -fill "#000000" -background white -font '.$bfont.' label: "'.$barcode.'" '.$comp.'bar.png';
exec($compolay);
does not create the image.
Also when running a static command of the one above in the command line... just hangs, until I ctrl-c out
I have checked the formats, pfa is supported, gs is installed, ft is installed... everything is installed correctly, only hangs with this.
Any ideas?

I can't see anything obviously wrong. Does the command:
convert logo: logo.png
work?
If so, change things until it matches your command. At what point does it fail? What is the simplest command that fails?

Yup worked just fine.... weird.
I'm going to pm you the pfa font, maybe you can give it a try?

I've picked up the pfa font. Never heard of them, and know nothing about them. When I try:
convert -pointsize 20 -fill #000000 -font c128b.pfa label:"snibgo" x.png
I get Ghostscript errors:

Could be a bad pfa file. Do other pfa files work?

Just hangs on mine, but no errors.
Maybe need some help from Admins

Try using a truetype font and see if that works fine.
