Install customized fonts for imagemagick

目录

1. Install customized fonts for imagemagick

1. Download the font, for example, Roboto

   wget https://fonts.google.com/download?family=Roboto
   

2. Download the processing script for fonts

   wget http://imagemagick.org/Usage/scripts/imagick_type_gen
   chmod +x imagick_type_gen
   

3. According to the documents of imagemagick 7 (https://imagemagick.org/script/resources.php), ImageMagick is able to load raw TrueType and Postscript font files. It searches for the font configuration file, type.xml, in the following order, and loads them if found:

   \$MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH
   \$MAGICK_HOME/etc/ImageMagick/-7.0.8
   \$MAGICK_HOME/share/ImageMagick-7.0.8
   \$XDG_CACHE_HOME/ImageMagick
   \$HOME/.config/ImageMagick
   <client path>/etc/ImageMagick
   \$MAGICK_FONT_PATH$
   

So create a dir ~/.config/ImageMagick

mkdir ~/.config/ImageMagick

4. According the description section in the script imageick_type_gen, create a xml for your fonts using the processing script:

   find /dir/to/font/ -type f -name '*.ttf' | imagick_type_gen -f - > ~/.ImageMagick/type-myfonts.xml
   

5. Include the xml in main xml file:

   cat <<\EOF >>~/.magick/type.xml
   <typemap>
   <include file="type-myfonts.xml" />
   </typemap>
   EOF
   

6. Check font using the command:

   convert -list font
