It appears that Imagemagick needs to be configured with
--with-gs-font-dir=/usr/share/fonts/gs else it will not find
the ghostscript fonts and /etc/ImageMagick-6/type-ghostscript.xml
will contain the wrong font paths. You end up with messages like:
Magick: unable to read font `(null)' @ error/annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1153
They are non-fatal but could get annoying fast if you are using 'convert'
on a lot of files.
Without patch we end up with (depending on what is available on the host):
Font Configuration:
Apple fonts --with-apple-font-dir=default
Dejavu fonts --with-dejavu-font-dir=default none
Ghostscript fonts --with-gs-font-dir=default /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/
Windows fonts --with-windows-font-dir=default none
And with the patch:
Font Configuration:
Apple fonts --with-apple-font-dir=default
Dejavu fonts --with-dejavu-font-dir=default none
Ghostscript fonts --with-gs-font-dir=/usr/share/fonts/gs /usr/share/fonts/gs/
Windows fonts --with-windows-font-dir=default none
