Blend seems to be replaced with Dissolve for the newer version at least. Your test code works fine...just like I was picturing. Thank you.

However, I couldn't get the "arial.ttf" font to work. I tried copying over the font many ways from my windows machine to my linux machine (ftp, samba, etc) so I don't think that's the problem. If I change the font parameter to something like "fixed", it works fine, printing "Whoo", but it can't seem to find the arial.ttf (even when i do './arial.ttf'). Maybe linux has a fonts folder similar to c:\windows\fonts that I don't know about...?

When I load the GUI for ImageMagick and try to manually draw a font, it gives me a huge font list with fonts seemingly already installed. It doesn't say which folder it's in and won't let me escape the folder to select other fonts. Also, none seem to have a ttf extention.
