title: Make ImageMagick recognize a font
body: <p>I've been playing image generation on ImageMagick on Ubuntu 9.10. I want to be able to get it to recognize a font so that I may call it by it's "nickname".</p>
  
  <p>I can find the list of fonts ImageMagick recognizes by typing</p>
  
  <pre><code>identify -list font</code></pre>
  
  <p>In that list I see Times-Bold. Therefore</p>
  
  <pre><code>convert -font Times-Bold label:abcdef times.gif</code></pre>
  
  <p>will generate a gif file with the Times New Roman Bold font.</p>
  
  <p>I know I can pass the path to the font instead of it's nickname, but I need to be able to use its nickname so I have less errors when moving from system to system. The font I'm trying to get to work in particular is a true type font called <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=151316&amp;postcount=7" rel="noreferrer">Segoe UI</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I already have Segoe UI installed in my system. If I pass the path to the font it works. But I want to be able to use something like</p>
  
  <pre><code>convert -font Segoe-UI label:abcdef segoe.gif</code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
