[TYPO3] Typo3 and ImageMagick SOLVED

[Benjamin Todd]

Hi Francois & Ernesto,

I found the problem to be the font dpi :0}

Thank you for recommending GraphicsMagick though 8) 

I have tried GM and you are right; it runs a lot better then IM so I'll
use that instead from now on :D

Many thanks,

Ben :)

As Francois already pointed out: GraphicsMagick is the choice to make.
Since 4.0, TYPO3 is "optimized" for GM and we recommend it instead of IM
4.2.9. You only will need the setting "im_version_5 = gm" and everything
works.

Most Linux distributions have GraphicsMagick as a ready package, so
maybe this is easier for your hoster to install.

Cheers,
Ernesto
