Problems drawing Text

[Bonzo]

From what I gather Fighterly you can not format the text but have to use text that is already formatted.

On my system I have for example:
Courier
Courier-Bold
Courier-BoldOblique
Courier-Oblique

You can change the font size and colour.

You can use -list font or something to list the fonts installed or ask your hosts to let you know what they have installed.

The list fonts is...
identify -list type

IM is not a word processor, and can only format text in one font at a time.
That does not mena it is impossible, just more difficult.

For methods and suggections as will as some alturnatives see...

If you discover anything more, please let us, and especially me know so I can update IM Examples.

Out of interest Anthony have you seen my example here http://www.rubblewebs.co.uk/imagemagick ... k_text.php

I have written a bit of php where the user inputs the text into a form and each letter is picked from a directory and appended to create the text in an image. In this case the text image is used to watermark a photo.

It needs a text that is spaced properly but it was only done as a test.

I saw the page though I did not see individual letter picking on that page.
The watermarking is heavy though. more copyright protection rather than watermarking but it does the job.

Have you see the latest addition to the end of the annotation page in response to another forum users request. EG compound font overlaying.
