texte = Hi Charles,Thanks for your help earlier. Yesterday I reinstalled the whole thing via Fink, and it showed that ghostscript and its fonts were installed, so no, I didn't try your solution. However, I will try that right now.Okay, I checked the situation, and ghostscript and the fonts were installed where fink wanted to put them (in a directory called sw). So I copied the ghostscript stuff over to usr/local/share/ in case it wanted to find it there, but it still isn't working.I did post this on the Imagemagick list, but the combination of Mac usage and font usage is apparently uncommon. One Unix guy has been emailing me, and we agree it's a font problem, but that's about as far as I got.....half hour later...I put in the path to the font, specifying one of the ghostscript fonts, and that did the trick. -font sw/etc... (I had tried this earlier with Verdana, but when it didn't work, I moved on.) It will also read .ttf fonts, but not Verdana (grrr) So now it's off to determine a good font.Terry>Did you give the solution I posted the other day a shot?>>On Sun, 4 Apr 2004 19:00:41 -0500> Terry Wilson
