[Magick-bugs] convert: unable to read font

[Ryan Schmidt]

Hello. I'm the maintainer of ImageMagick in MacPorts, but I'm not  
sure what to do about this problem that was reported to me here:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18647

The reporter Jeremy Huddleston maintains our X11 ports.

ImageMagick seems to get some bad information about where fonts are  
on my system. I'm not sure where it gets the information from. My  
test was with ImageMagick 6.4.9-6 on Mac OS X 10.4.11 Intel:


$ convert -font Times-Roman -pointsize 12 label:Test out.png
convert: unable to read font `/mp/lib/ImageMagick-6.4.9/config//mp/ 
share/ghostscript/fonts/n021003l.pfb' @ annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1315.
convert: unable to read font `/mp/lib/ImageMagick-6.4.9/config//mp/ 
share/ghostscript/fonts/n021003l.pfb' @ annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1315.
convert: unable to read font `/mp/lib/ImageMagick-6.4.9/config//mp/ 
share/ghostscript/fonts/n021003l.pfb' @ annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1315.
$


"convert -list font" shows these incorrect paths too.


$ convert -list font

Path: /mp/lib/ImageMagick-6.4.9/config/type-ghostscript.xml
   Font: AvantGarde-Book
     family: AvantGarde
     style: Normal
     stretch: Normal
     weight: 400
     glyphs: /mp/lib/ImageMagick-6.4.9/config//mp/share/ghostscript/ 
fonts/a010013l.pfb
^C
$


There is of course no directory /mp/lib/ImageMagick-6.4.9/config//mp/ 
share/ghostscript/fonts. There is a directory /mp/share/ghostscript/ 
fonts. But the second problem is that this directory does not contain  
the font files named above. It contains only these files:
