Post subject: Output Bug Grayscale Images or Black and white

Arbor ImageMagick at this time and date.
I have had this happen to me several times. This is a TTF charset. The bug occures when outputting a grayscale or a black and white image. It scrambles the image or the text.

Or pixelates it?

Only on images that are gray-scale

So I negate the base image canvas from white to black. Change the annotating stroke and fill colors to golds. Output and it is fine?

Here is the TTF file I used:

We were unable to reproduce any problems with the information you posted. We will need an exact sequence of events that cause the problem so we can reproduce it.

Perhaps we're mis-understanding what the problem is. We annotate your text to a black/white image and get similiar results to your b9524567a5415_white560.jpg image. What is wrong with the image? What were you expecting? The final image is your text in black with a white background.

Oh gosh you can't see it?
It's unreadable for MSNTV eyes.
So it's a MSNTV problem.
Hmmm how can we make it view the same for you?
I guess a video cap?
Let me see what I can do.
I'll post again. Thanks

It's a MSNTV Problem.
Probably with the 2.9 up-down-grade. Here is a Video Cap. This is what we see. So you don't think I've lost muh mind again/still lol.

A MSNTV "Screen Shot" Video Capture Style. Not very good quality true. MSNTV V.C.'s rarely are.
