Subject: Re: RMagick + ImageMagick issues on OSX

ImageMagick doesn't look up fonts dynamically. It has a couple of fixed
sets it knows how to use. At config time you (or whoever is configuring
it) tell IM which set(s) of fonts to use and where to find them.
Whoever made the port did the configuring, so that version of
ImageMagick is configured for them, not for you. This is one of the
reasons I recommend installing from source. The short-cuts always seem
to take longer...

Now that you've got all the dependent libraries installed it should be
fairly easy to uninstall ImageMagick and re-install from source. It
takes about 5-10 minutes on my Powerbook. Or I can try to coach you
through manually editing the font config files. If you decide to go
with the first option check out RMagick's README file, 'cause it's got
lots of advice on how to configure ImageMagick.
