Yes, it seems one of your staff got confused into thinking that the FONTS used by ImageMagick 6 are used to display the fonts and font size in threads.

You can read on vBulletins website hosting here:
www. vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=162053&highlight=imagemagick

Were they say you have too compile the fonts for image magick first using Ghost script etc before you even install ImageMagick 6 for it to work. The thing is, the latest version of vBulletin now used both GD and ImageMagick now. Unlike before in there earlier version were it just used GD only in version vb3.0 series.

What this does is it gives you the option to use ImageMagick now instead of GD from the admin panel. This is used for displaying images on the board and also for the CODE REGISTRATION you enter when a person registers with the website hosting. The problem is - while the image magick background image is displayed, Fonts are not displayed on it. So if you choose ImageMagick and a person tried to register with your website hosting. He would not see any code in the image to enter because the fonts used for it are not installed correctly.

Here is a quote taken from that thread:

ImageMagick must be compiled with freetype2 support and to use fonts you need to install GhostScript before ImageMagick.
