Image difference between Solaris and Linux

Hi,

I am using the following ImageMagick command to merge text
onto a gif
file.

convert -font courier -pointsize 11 -page A4+130 -density
200 po.gif
text:textfile -compose multiply -composite po.pdf

This command works great on our Linux test box and
ImageMagick 6.1.8 but
does not work on our production sun machine running Solaris
9 and
ImageMagick 6.2.0. The text does not fit onto the image
correctly.

I would not think the slight difference in the version of
ImageMagick
would mave much effect? Solaris uses type-solaris.xml while
the linux
box uses fontstype-ghostscript.xml. Could this be
responsible?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

David

Rather than set a -pointsize and using text:

Set a -size appropriate for your image, and use label: or
caption:
instead, and IM will adjust the text to fit the pixel size
you specify.

EG:
   convert -font courier -size 120x100 po.gif  
           caption:textfile  -compose multiply 
           -page A4 -density 200 -composite po.pdf

For more info see IM Examples, Text and Caption
  http://w
ww.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#label

You can also use -gravity to center the text line-by-line
(if set before
the caption: or label:  or just left alligned but centered
on image if
set after  caption: or label:  but before  the -composite
oprator.

As for the change.  send me an example, of it before and
after and I'll
see if I can figure out what is going on.

Note -page and -density does effect text: but also the pdf:
output.
This may be what is going on.  Set the settings before the
intended
operator, and reset them afetrward if it effects other
operators.
