Up until recently, ImageMagick did not provide a list of fonts.  There
is now an installed type.mgk file (XML format) that provides a mapping
for Ghostscript fonts.  These are used with the FreeType2 library.

You can obtain a listing of fonts via the ListTypeInfo() function, or
via 'convert -list type'.

This font list does not include any X11 fonts, or other fonts not
lised in type.mgk.

You can use Annotate or Draw to write text.

Text is anti-aliased by default.
