    The 6.2.8 version is identical.

    I have no personal type.xml file.

    "identify -list Type"  --> no output (the capital letter is what's 
defined in "identify -help", but lowercase also yielded no output.)

    "identify -list Delegate" --> everything IM supports, including gs - 
again, why?  gs was never installed on the system, and is still not on 
the system.  There is no X11 on this system either.  Nothing, that I 
went through, indicates that there's even a little bit of gs, or header, 
or dev files, anything, and during IM's configure it also confirms 
this.  Then why oh why does it insist on listing gs as a supported 
delegate, and even tries to call it?

    Here's what "identify -list Configure" says:

    According to "locate -e .ttf" there are no fonts on the system.
