Not sure why its failing for you. We tried the IMageMagick 6.2.8 display->Miscallany->Info and it worked fine.

Try
  • display -foreground #600
and select Miscellany > Image Info. Does that produce readable text?

We're perplexed. The image info windows uses the same parameters as the other text windows (e.g. command widget). Help->Overview is the same window as Miscellany->Image Info. I assume it displays blank results as well? Do any other windows give no text? How 'bout Miscellany->Preferences?

Next up, try
  • display -text-font variable
Does Miscellany->Image Info display text now?

We have a patch in ImageMagick 6.2.9-4 Beta to fix this problem. It appears the default text font is not available on Suse systems. We fixed the problem by defaulting to the generic "fixed" font which is theoretically supported by all X11 installations.

What happens if you try this command:
  • display -text-font fixed
