Re: SOLVED - How do I specify font usage order? (fallback fonts)

I'm trying to keep the code portable so as to reduce the config-work required for the end-user. I have a couple IM scripts that use fonts which don't reside on all my computers. I keep the scripts in their own folders, and keep a copy of the OTF or TTF font file right in the same folder. To use the...

Re: montage - only get first frame of multi-image files?

So, instead of:

Code: Select all

$ montage * output.png
I'm now using:

Code: Select all

$ montage *[0] output.png
which is correctly grabbing only the first frame of each image.

Thanks!
