I was a bit off:

"Before version 6.5.2-4, IM would completely ignore the "-pointsize" setting if a "-size" setting is also given. This causes the text in the above images to be auto-sized according to the 'best fit' handling (see next set of examples)."

I'm wondering how I can work around this with an old version, 6.2.8.
