I also see the problem on Snow Leopard if ImageMagick and all  
dependencies are built for x86_64 only (the default on Snow Leopard),  
or for i386 only. So I can't seem to make the problem go away on Snow  
Leopard no matter how I build ImageMagick.

I also see the problem on Leopard if ImageMagick and all dependencies  
are built universal for x86_64 and i386.

In all the above cases, "convert" produces this one line of output:

convert: unable to read font `Arial' @ annotate.c/RenderType/806.


I don't see the problem on Leopard if ImageMagick is built for i386  
only (the default on Leopard) -- but in that case, though the colors  
are now right, the "+" looks different (is a different font maybe).

In this case, "convert" produces these six lines output:

convert: unable to read font `Arial' @ annotate.c/RenderType/806.
convert: unable to read font `/mp/lib/ImageMagick-6.5.6/config//mp/ 
share/ghostscript/fontsx/n019003l.pfb' @ annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1042.
convert: unable to read font `Arial' @ annotate.c/RenderType/806.
convert: unable to read font `/mp/lib/ImageMagick-6.5.6/config//mp/

share/ghostscript/fontsx/n019003l.pfb' @ annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1042.

Note: This was a mixed installation; some of the dependencies were  
already universal, so this test was not ideal. I can retry later in a  
pure i386 environment. I can also still try a pure x86_64 environment  
on Leopard. For something completely different, I could also check 32- 
bit ppc builds on Leopard and Tiger.
