Thank you, that was ingenious! Exactly what I needed! I made a short script out of it, and I had to change the path-removal code: $ cat showFonts.sh #!/bin/bash for fontf in `mlocate -i .ttf`; do convert -background lightblue -fill blue -pointsize 48 \ -font $fontf label:$1 $(basename "$fontf").gif done One question, why mlocate instead of locate? -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il Please CC me if you want to be sure that I read your message.
