Hi

I am using the Image::Magick module to create images using the "Annotate" function and "city_burn.ttf" font. It is working fine. But I tried the same code on another server, then the text displayed is having problems with the font, like there are many dotes scattered around the text. I used the option 'antialias' also. Still the same result.

We used strace method on both servers and analyzed the differences. But everything is ok with the installed libraries.

The differences with the servers are

Server which the code is running fine:
OS: Fedora 9
Perl: 5.10.0
ImageMagick: 6.3.8

Server having the problem:
OS: CentOS 5.2
Perl: 5.8.8
ImageMagick: 6.2.8 (I didn't get 6.3.8 version for CentOS)
