I am using Imager v 0.77 on Strawberry Perl v 5.12.1.0 and Windows XP On an earlier version of Imager this code worked fine: my $font = Imager::Font->new( face => 'Tahoma Bold', size => 14, color => 'black ) or die qq[ERROR: failed to load font face for 'title_font' :], Imager->errstr; With Imager v 0.77 I get this error in my code: ERROR: failed to load font face for 'title_font' :`w32' not enabled at C:/MyCode/M_perl/dev_lib/TimeSeries/Graph.pm line 217. I notice for the following code lines as displayed in debugger (Devel::ptkdb) # Line 120 of Font.pm calls line 03961 in Imager.pm 00120 if (!$Imager::formats{$type}) 03961 sub FETCH 03962 my ($self, $key) = @_ 03963 03964 exists $self->[IX_FORMATS]{$key} and return $self->[IX_FORMATS]{$key} 03965 03966 $self->[IX_CLASSES]{$key} or return undef that key = 'w32' which seems correct, but $self->[IX_FORMATS]{'w32'} does not exist. Thanks Maurice Height

The problem is the windows headers are no longer visible in the directories Imager searches for headers, in strawberry perl. As a workaround you can tell Imager's Makefile.PL to search the appropriate directory: set IM_INCPATH=c:\strawberry\c\i686-w64-mingw32\include perl Makefile.PL ... The Imager 0.73 supplied with strawberry also appears to not have access to win32 fonts. I have some better library probe tools I've be integrating into Imager that will handle this, I'll need to do that for Win32 earlier than I expected - ie. the next release. Tony

This is fixed in Imager 0.78. Tony
