Fonts information
Note: You can not change the style of a font as in html; if you want an italic font you can not change a standard font to italic.
( I have found you can modify the fonts when using -draw )
You are not restricted to the fonts installed with ImageMagick but can use any True type Font, PostScript font, X11 font and use the path to the font in the code
You can find which fonts are available to you in your standard installation by using the code below. ( NB: that "font" replaced "type" in the latest release due to a name clash for the '-type' options list ).
This code will use the correct method automaticaly depending on the version of ImageMagick installed.
<?php
// Select the version number from the configeration file
preg_match('/^LIB_VERSION_NUMBER ([0-9,]+)$/m', shell_exec("convert -list configure "), $vnums);
// Seperate the numbers at the ,
$number = explode( ",", $vnums[1] );
// Format the version from 6,3,4,1 format to 06030401
$version = "";
for($i=0;$i<4;$i++)
{
$version .= str_pad( $number[$i], 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT );
}
// The 'list' method used to get the fonts changed in IM v6.3.5-7
$font_list = ( $version > "06030507" ) ? "font" : "type";
// Display the version of Imagemagick, the method to read the fonts and the list of fonts
echo "<h2>IM version: ".$version." </h2>\n
<h3>Method used: convert -list $font_list</h3>\n
<hr>\n<pre>";
system("convert -list $font_list");
echo "</pre>\n<hr>";
?>

There is a blank space for "Dingbats-Regular" which I assume as it will not work for this example it will not work in any code; the same for "Standard-Symbols-Regular" which just displays ????
