PATCH 1/1 Allow imagemagick to find ghostscript fonts.

From: Robert Sohn <[email protected]>

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.

These fonts are only available when the ghostscript-fonts is built, isn't it? If so, then this should be

ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_GHOSTSCRIPT_FONTS),y) IMAGEMAGICK_CONF_OPTS += --with-gs-font-dir=/usr/share/fonts/gs endif

Or maybe we should use $(GHOSTSCRIPT_FONTS_TARGET_DIR) here, instead of duplicating it?

Hm, the problem is that the issue will remain if ghostscript-fonts are not installed. I don't know the solution to that. It seems strange that imagemagick can not find a default font when 'convert -list font' shows many, ttf and otherwise.

Hm, the problem is that the issue will remain if ghostscript-fonts are not installed. I don't know the solution to that.

The usual way to set a dependency package is to add a 'select' statement for that package in Config.in. In this case ghostscript-fonts is not a hard dependency, because imagemagick is quite functional without it, and its size is non negligible. Maybe adding a comment to the help text in Config.in would suffice.

What do others think?

Hello Robert,

Sorry for the long delay in replying to your patch.

Could you give a specific example use of imagemagick that triggers this problem, so that we can reproduce the problem on our side and investigate the possible solutions?

Thanks a lot!
