I went to > ImmageMagick website and found resources page Works for me -- *unless* I disable xfs. Do you have xfs running? $ ps -ef | grep xfs xfs 2160 1 0 18:52 ? 00:00:00 xfs -droppriv -daemon james 9138 9044 0 21:15 pts/2 00:00:00 grep xfs If I remember correctly, not having xfs running won't hurt for most programs. But ImageMagick uses the older fonts system: see for example http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/#sn-xwindows-xorg (this topic is not dealt with in the FC5 release notes). Helvetica *should* be there on your system. Which fonts RPMs do you have? I know I've got more than the default, but I've got: bitmap-fonts-0.3-5.1.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-base-7.0-3.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-Type1-7.0-3.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi-7.0-3.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi-7.0-3.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-truetype-7.0-3.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi-7.0-3.noarch urw-fonts-2.3-6.1.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-7.0-3.noarch ghostscript-fonts-5.50-13.1.noarch bitstream-vera-fonts-1.10-5.1.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.0-3.noarch James. -- E-mail address: james | "I would like to apologise to the relatives of the fan @westexe.demon.co.uk | who gave me 29 books to sign in Odyssey 7, Manchester. | I'm a little twitchy towards the end of a day of | signing and did not mean to kill and eat him." | -- Terry Pratchett.
