Hi,

When I run the following command on 6.6.9.3, the text does not resize to fill the area any more. It does in older versions such as 6.6.7.6. Is there a bug in this bit of functionality? (This is on CentOS 5.6) Adding +fontsize seems to also cause the lines of text to run wider than the length of the canvas.

Thanks

Sam

It works fine for me under IM 6.6.9.4 Q16 Mac OSX Tiger. Perhaps that version of IM had a bug. Try upgrading.

Ok good to know. Just wanted to raise the flag on this. This is on a hosting account and they currently run 6.6.9.3. I will ask them about an upgrade, but as it is shared hosting, they are not able to just upgrade straight away.

Thanks.

Here is what I got from:

convert -size 420x420 -gravity northwest -fill '#000000' caption:'The string is meant to be a best fit on the text area in this case, so why is it not behaving itself? I would really like to know.It is a real mystery to me' test_caption.gif



Is it possible that your default font is not working correctly? Try adding a specific font.
