Self-test failure in `demo/demo.sh'

[mi]

I'm testing without the pieces, which require X11 -- in particular, the freetype, the fontconfig, SVG, and WMF are disabled.

Here is the failure of the demo self-test:

Code: Select all

Please, advise.

The regression tests assume that certain delegates are available such as Freetype. Without delegates such as Freetype, ImageMagick is somewhat diminished in its capabilities.

The regression tests assume that certain delegates are available such as Freetype. Without delegates such as Freetype, ImageMagick is somewhat diminished in its capabilities.

The diminishment is fine and to be expected. The tests, however, should distinguish between absence of functionality and bugs in it present.

Is that too difficult to implement?

We intend to fix the regression tests to distinguish when certain delegates are missing. Currently we do not have an ETA on this fix. Thanks for alerting us to the problem.
