Add a new font to ImageMagick

You can list all fonts that are known to ImageMagick by identify -list font. When your font isn't there, but it is installed, you might want to try these steps:

  • sudo updatedb
  • Download imagick_type_gen
  • Execute it: perl imagick_type_gen > types.xml
  • Copy the result to the folder where it should be
    • locate type.xml. That was /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.5.7/config/type.xml for me
    • sudo cp type.xml /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.5.7/config/type.xml

You can find some nice fonts here.
