https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78038

Hi I have been using imagemagick lately and am impressed.
However I can only use default fonts. Shown is an illustration of the error for extra fonts

peter@peter-desktop:~$  convert -background lightblue -fill blue  -font Candice \
>           -size 165x70 -gravity center label:Anthony     label_size_gravity.gif
convert: unable to read font `Candice' @ magick/annotate.c/RenderType/1066.

I am actually using it to annotate images from a perl script but the error is the same. How can I get Verdana font for imagemagick?
Thanks
