Hi again,
I think I have a better idea of what is happening: if I use one of the
fonts listed by
~ convert -list font
I get no error, and the output looks fine. Looking closer, I find that
there are several fonts missing from the newer version of imagemagick,
namely, the postscript fonts:

I think I've understood the problem: when a font isn't found,
imagemagick falls back onto using helvetica (line 1032 of
magick/annotate.c). On the older imagemagick, as the postscript fonts
were automatically included with
<typemap>
@type_include_files@
</typemap>
there was no problems. On the newer version, Helvetica is missing, so it
isn't found at all. That's pretty bad for the default font !
I don't know who's to blame: how comes helvetica doesn't show up in
fontconfig ? gs-fonts are installed, which is where it should be coming,
shouldn't it ?
At least I feel we are progressing...
Cheers,
Vincent
