GraphicsMagick is rather primitive when it comes to fonts. It should 
be supporting fontlib, but is not doing so yet.  As a result, a bare 
font name needs to be supported by a font definition from type.mgk (or 
included by it) or the font name needs to be the path to a font file 
supported by FreeType (e.g. "myfont.ttf").

You can see the font names that GraphicsMagick knows about (from 
type.mgk) via

   gm convert -list type

You can create your own type.mgk file which includes the definitions 
you need.
