[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#627985: Serious font problems with newer version

[Vincent Fourmond]

Package: imagemagick
Version: 8:6.6.9.7-2
Severity: important

  Hello,

  I think the newer imagemagick has a serious font problem. Please see:

# convert -size 100x60 xc:skyblue -fill white -font Helvetica -stroke black -pointsize 40 -gravity center -draw "text 0,0 'Hello'"   draw_text_bis-1.png
convert: unable to access configure file `type.xml' @ warning/configure.c/GetConfigureOptions/589.
convert: unable to read font `Helvetica' @ error/annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1128.
convert: unable to access configure file `delegates.xml' @ warning/configure.c/GetConfigureOptions/589.
convert: unable to read font `Helvetica' @ error/annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1128.
convert: unable to access configure file `colors.xml' @ warning/configure.c/GetConfigureOptions/589.

  This command was working perfectly with the previous version of
imagemagick (the output is attached for completeness's sake).

  I'm pretty sure this is the reason of librmagick-ruby's FTBS with
newer imagemagick.

  Cheers,

        Vincent
