Hi

I am attempting to use IM with Pango to render some text on a transparent background. When setting the color to white the text has a feint black outline.

Command:

Code: Select all

 convert -background transparent pango:"<markup><span color=\"#ffffff\" gravity_hint=\"line\" letter_spacing=\"0\" font_family=\"Arial\" size=\"40000\">Pango Test</span></markup>" out.png

Example output:

Is there a way to render without the black outline?

I must use pango so I can support scripted languages such as Arabic.

You have hit a transient bug in ImageMagick, it is fixed in ImageMagick version 6.9.0-7.

Hi magick, many thanks for the fast reply.

I have updated to 6.9.0-7 and can confirm that it renders correctly now:

Thanks again!
