And I know basically nothing about postscript :). I think there is at least following behaviour in ImageMagick which does not fit to what I would expect: System A -------- $ rpm -qa | grep 'fonts\|ghostscript' ghostscript-fonts-std-9.06-10.2.noarch ghostscript-devel-9.22-2.1.x86_64 ghostscript-9.22-2.1.x86_64 ghostscript-fonts-other-9.06-10.2.noarch dejavu-fonts-2.37-1.5.noarch $ convert /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/ImageMagick-7.0.7-28/images/logo.jpg -annotate +0+10 'logo' logo-annotated.jpg $ logo-annotated.jpg seem to be correctly rendered (logo + 'logo' text in it). convert -list font see ghostscript fonts and dejavu ones. System B -------- $ rpm -qa | grep 'fonts\|ghostscript' dejavu-fonts-2.37-1.5.noarch ghostscript-9.23-104.1.x86_64 ghostscript-devel-9.23-104.1.x86_64 $ convert /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/ImageMagick-7.0.7-28/images/logo.jpg -annotate +0+10 'logo' logo-annotated.jpg convert: unable to read font `helvetica' @ error/annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1432. $ convert -list font see dejavu fonts only, I would expect it uses them.
