Unable to get type metrics
Posted: 2010-09-08T11:33:46-07:00
hi, I'm using XP SP3 and the latest download from sourceforge. I'm trying to convert a simple text file (name.txt) which contains a name like "kernelPanic" to a png image.
All my attempts
convert name.txt name.png
convert text:name.txt name.png
and various other renditions that include -font -size, etc and even my attempts to convert a label using some of the commonly found examples, all result in this error
convert: unable to get type metrics (name.txt)
Google has been no help. The forums here had a reference to needing ghostscript installed - that was on a server environment - but I installed it anyway - same error.
Does anyone know where I have gone astray here?
regards,
kp
