[magick-users] create functioning differently between version 5 & 6

[JC Nolan]

I have a command which I developed under 6 which creates a nice raised
image in IMGK6:

 

convert -size 252x80 -background none -font a010015l.pfb -fill white
-gravity center caption:"This is a test" -shade 240x40  texttest.png

 

Unfortunately, if does not seem to function the same under v5, where
rather than expanding the font to fit the image, the font is small and
not centered (stuffed in the upper left-hand corner).  Also, the
background does not appear to be purely "clear" as a later merging
option distorts the source in a way it does not under 6.

 

I am wondering, is there any way to execute this command under 5?  Or is
it simply a bug that was fixed or improved in later versions?  We are
working with 5 because the current version of 6 is twice as slow for our
current needs.
