Ok, the problem is sort of solved by installing Fedora instead of Suse on the clients server, but locally we also work on Windows and the same distorted effect has always occurred on this workstation. Not that big of a deal, as long as the online results are ok, right? But today I found out the stra...

Eventually we installed Fedora 7 instead of Suse 10.2 and everything works like a charm. Thanks again so much for your help!!!

Ok, the new show_fonts was available for download and we tried it, but it still trips over the $1 variable: > sh ./show_fonts '/show_fonts: line 60: syntax error near unexpected token `in '/show_fonts: line 60: ` case "$1" in > /bin/bash ./show_fonts -2 -o arial2.png Arial '/show_fonts: li...

Dear Anthony, First I'd like to thank you for your time and the effort you put into this issue! I looked up which versions of freetype we us, and I think it all looks alright. > ldd /usr/bin/convert ... libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 ...

Thanks for the help, Magick! I am not that familiar with Linux, so it all is an exploration journey to me. Sometimes a fun one... :-) The server that did give the wanted output is based on Fedora 6 and has freetype.i386 and freetype.x86_64 installed, both version 2.2.1.17.fc6. The other Linux server...

Thanks for the reply, but I'm afraid it seems it has nothing to do with it since the same fonts are used on all three machines. IM reads the fonts from a local folder and not from a library of some sort...

LS, We have written a Javascript/CGI-script that replaces text in HTML elements with an anti-aliased background image. The scripts work fine but for one thing: on some servers edges of letters happen to appear a bit distorted/less smooth. A fine example is the letter 'o': http://www.wishdesign.nl/fo...
