Sorry for late reply, was on vacation.
But I was using the first example "Jennifer Winningham", with kerning of 40.
Yes kerning is large but needed for what I'm doing.
But still cutting off like:
Jennifer
Winning
ham

Note: Winningham is being wrapped at the end.

I don't think the kerning has anything to do with it IMO, maybe it's determining the first line? Since it looks to be cutting it right at that same point.
Meaning Jennifer is 8 letters, Winningham is 10 getting cut at the 7th letter, but of course the "W" is a larger letter in width compared to the rest.
I am rambling lol but just a thought.

We tried the following command with ImageMagick 6.6.4-7, the latest release and the names were not cut off:
  • convert -size 100x100 -background black -fill white caption:"Jennifer\nWinningham" caption.png
What command are you using and how is it failing?
