Font warning on montage command

I'm creating an image montage with the follwoing command:
Code: Select all
montage -monitor pic1.tiff pic2.tiff -geometry 1000x1000+20+20 -tile 1x2 -background white out.tiff
It works, but I get these strange warnings:
Code: Select all
montage: delegate library support not built-in `/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n019003l.pfb' (Freetype) @ warning/annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1526.
montage: Postscript delegate failed `/var/folders/6f/7jxdczdn45z32wnczn11yp5w0000gn/T/magick-O6qNszAJ': No such file or directory @ error/ps.c/ReadPSImage/830.
Why that? I don't use any text command which could possibly use some fonts...
Thanks, Walter

Montage has font commands built in and even if you don't use them, it may still require that the delegate library for freetype be installed. That is my best guess.

Thanks Fred. Makes sense.
But how can I make the warning go away? I now have installed
ghostscript, the folwing message still occures:
Code: Select all
montage: delegate library support not built-in `/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/n019003l.pfb' (Freetype) @ warning/annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1526.
is installed, too. And I have the following delegates (listed via montage -list configure):
Code: Select all
DELEGATES bzlib jpeg jng png tiff xml zlib
So I don't know why imagemagick doesn't pick up the installed
ghostscript. Do I need a delegate between imagemagick and ghostscript? Any idea?
Thanks heaps, Walter

It appears that gs is not fully installed or not properly installed at least where IM knows to find it. Check where it is installed? Try running it standalone? Something is not proper or it would show up in the IM list of delegates via
convert -list configure
Perhaps it is permissions or perhaps you did not re-install IM after you installed GS?

Aaah, I have to reinstall IM
after installing GS? Do I have to compile it for this? (I use the pre-compiled "bottle" from
brew for OS X.)
Thx, Walter

I do not know if you can install from a binary and get it to recognize some extra delegate. But you can try. If not, then you will likely have to install all your delegates from MacPorts and then install IM from MacPorts or install IM from source. The latter is what I do on my Mac. I install all delegates from MacPorts and then install IM manually so as to have the most current version of IM. You have to modify your ./configure command. If you install from binary and it does not catch the GS and you are sure it is installed properly and where IM can find it, then let me know and I will show you how I install IM manually.
