(Re-)Looking at the docs, I (re-)saw that it's possible to have a list of the known-of fonts like this:
So I did have those fonts "installed" in some way or another. But still I was unable to use them.perl -MImage::Magick -le ' print join("\n* ", "installed fonts:", Image::Magick->QueryFont())' installed fonts: * AvantGarde-Book * AvantGarde-BookOblique * AvantGarde-Demi * AvantGarde-DemiOblique * Bookman-Demi * Bookman-DemiItalic * Bookman-Light * Bookman-LightItalic * Courier * Courier-Bold * Courier-BoldOblique * Courier-Oblique * Helvetica * Helvetica-Bold * Helvetica-BoldOblique * Helvetica-Narrow * Helvetica-Narrow-Bold * Helvetica-Narrow-BoldOblique * Helvetica-Narrow-Oblique * Helvetica-Oblique * NewCenturySchlbk-Bold * NewCenturySchlbk-BoldItalic * NewCenturySchlbk-Italic * NewCenturySchlbk-Roman * Palatino-Bold * Palatino-BoldItalic * Palatino-Italic * Palatino-Roman * Symbol * Times-Bold * Times-BoldItalic * Times-Italic * Times-Roman
An independent check with the montage program, on the other hand, showed that these fonts are known to it and that it could actually use them. So they also had to be somewhere. By the way, you can ask the list of fonts like this:
Note theshell$ mogrify -list Font # or Type, for older IM Path: /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.0.6/config/type-ghostscript.mgk Name Family Style Stret +ch Weight ---------------------------------------------------------------------- +---------- AvantGarde-Book AvantGarde Normal Norma +l 400 AvantGarde-BookOblique AvantGarde Oblique Norma +l 400 AvantGarde-Demi AvantGarde Normal Norma +l 600 AvantGarde-DemiOblique AvantGarde Oblique Norma +l 600 Bookman-Demi Bookman Normal Norma +l 600 Bookman-DemiItalic Bookman Italic Norma +l 600 Bookman-Light Bookman Normal Norma +l 300 Bookman-LightItalic Bookman Italic Norma +l 300 Courier Courier Normal Norma +l 400 Courier-Bold Courier Normal Norma +l 700 Courier-BoldOblique Courier Oblique Norma +l 700 Courier-Oblique Courier Oblique Norma +l 400 Helvetica Helvetica Normal Norma +l 400 Helvetica-Bold Helvetica Normal Norma +l 700 Helvetica-BoldOblique Helvetica Italic Norma +l 700 Helvetica-Narrow Helvetica Narrow Normal Conde +nsed 400 Helvetica-Narrow-Bold Helvetica Narrow Normal Conde +nsed 700 Helvetica-Narrow-BoldOblique Helvetica Narrow Oblique Conde +nsed 700 Helvetica-Narrow-Oblique Helvetica Narrow Oblique Conde +nsed 400 Helvetica-Oblique Helvetica Italic Norma +l 400 NewCenturySchlbk-Bold NewCenturySchlbk Normal Norma +l 700 NewCenturySchlbk-BoldItalic NewCenturySchlbk Italic Norma +l 700 NewCenturySchlbk-Italic NewCenturySchlbk Italic Norma +l 400 NewCenturySchlbk-Roman NewCenturySchlbk Normal Norma +l 400 Palatino-Bold Palatino Normal Norma +l 700 Palatino-BoldItalic Palatino Italic Norma +l 700 Palatino-Italic Palatino Italic Norma +l 400 Palatino-Roman Palatino Normal Norma +l 400 Symbol Symbol Normal Norma +l 400 Times-Bold Times Normal Norma +l 700 Times-BoldItalic Times Italic Norma +l 700 Times-Italic Times Italic Norma +l 400 Times-Roman Times Normal Norma +l 400
line: this is the file where the "known fonts" are configured.Path: /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.0.6/config/type-ghostscript.mgk
Then I suddenly remembered that to install Image::Magick you can't go through CPAN, but you have to recompile the whole ImageMagick... click! The ImageMagick programs I'm using are those that came with my Linux distro, but the Image::Magick Perl stuff isn't. So, I went where I installed this recompiled IM (in /opt/ImageMagick), and used the path above to look for the font configuration file, which happens to be in /opt/ImageMagick/lib/ImageMagick-<version>/config. The file was called a bit differently - xml extension instead of mgk - but the format was the same. Except that the paths inside were all wrong!
Well, it was easy at this point. I simply copied the type-ghostscript.mgk file from the old IM to the type-ghostscript.xml file in the new IM, and voilą - "standard" fonts work now, even without giving the full path.
Due to the Image::Magick installation process, I suspect that you could suffer from a similar problem. Hope this helps!
