Hello.

I'd like to generate PNG-files with Text.

That works fine...

convert -density 72x72 -background "transparent" -fill "#000" -gravity Center -pointsize 25 -font arial.ttf label:"TEST" ~test.png

But

Code: Select all

convert -density 72x72 -background "transparent" -fill "#000" -gravity Center -pointsize 25 -font arial.ttf label:"+++" ~test.png

or this

Code: Select all

convert -density 72x72 -background "transparent" -fill "#000" -gravity Center -pointsize 25 -font arial.ttf label:"..." ~test.png

generate only empty PNG-files.

Is that a bug?
Or have I a failure in my command?

Hi Loony, I've just tried your commands on Imagmagick 6.4.8-7 on XP SP3 and all worked fine.

Not hugely useful, but does narrow it down a little!

PNG has been undergoing quite some rework and bugs have been removed and features added. At times things may not have worked well. It is recommended that you upgrade to the latest version of IM. see changelog for all the details of the changes http://www.imagemagick.org/script/changelog.php

Again it works OK for me using Windows XP command and Imagemagick 6.5.9

How are you running the code e.g. Batch, shell, php etc?

Normal cmd under Windows XP SP3 and ImageMagick-6.6.7-Q16 (static)

I'm using it also in a PHP Script (with a @textfile.txt).

abc++ works
++abc works
and
~~~ works fine

but

+++ -> empty picture
--- -> also empty picture

But only on windows. Same code on webserver works fine.

I try update to ImageMagick-6.6.8-6-Q16. Maybe that solve the problem.
