It does work with relative paths though, so I had to convert all my absolute paths to relative, like this: font_path = File.join(RAILS_ROOT, "lib", "fonts", "cursif", "Cursif.ttf") if (font_path[0,1] == '/') font_path = Pathname.new(font_path).relative_path_from(Pathname.pwd) end and then it works :-) I finally discovered that ImageMagick (and therefore RMagick/Magick) does not work with font file paths that start with a slash (i.e. absolute paths on Unix).

Not that I'm holding you as responsible! but I've just set the permissions for the directory to 777 but i doesn't work! I've even tried with other directories. But it doesn't help. I'll be back with a solution as soon as I fine one (if i remember). - Lasse Well your 20 just caused me another 5… Not that I’m holding you as responsible!

I've wasted much more than 20 - but suspect it would have kept me up all night. Thank you so much! I’ve wasted much more than 20 - but suspect it would have kept me up all night.
