Sorry. I should have said I was working within Perl.

That shouldn't make a difference!

Good point.

Try again...

This did not output any text:

$result = $image -> Annotate
(
	text		=> 'Annotation',
	x			=> 10,
	y			=> 34,
	stroke		=> 'none',
	font		=> 'LokiCola.ttf', # This line changes below...
	pointsize	=> 32,
	fill		=> 'black'
);

but this does:

$result = $image -> Annotate
(
	text		=> 'Annotation',
	x			=> 10,
	y			=> 34,
	stroke		=> 'none',
	font		=> 'c:WindowsFontsLokiCola.ttf',
	pointsize	=> 32,
	fill		=> 'black'
);

OK to make the first version work, you will need to find and
update
(somehow) the type.xml file, to include the new font info.
I have no idea where it is or how to find it under windows.

Yes, I originally tried that (an earlier post mentioned
editing type*.xml), by
copying a font's XML from type-ghostscript.xml, and changing
the definition to
match the new font, but then all fonts stopped working, so
obviously I didn't
get it right :-(.

I had successfully done this years ago, too.

Try the type-windows.xml file.

The structure is not difficult to work out.  I did it for a
script
that generates a 'personal' addition type.xml file.
