In this example, it would croak (let's not call it "die", because it
doesn't) on the $image->QueryFontMetrics() call, before it reaches
the die statement. Yes, I have made sure exactly where it dies. I don't
think one can do much better than this:

===================================================================
use Image::Magick;
use Error qw (:try);

my $image=Image::Magick->new(size=>'75x75');
$image->Read('null:white');

try {
        my @x = 
$image->QueryFontMetrics(font=>'@/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf/Ritalin.ttf',text=>'X',
 pointsize=>12);
        die "Got past QueryFontMetrics()";
}
catch Error with {
        warn "trapped an exception";
};
warn "Completed";
===================================================================

This gives the same output as the original post:
Exception 415: UnableToReadFont (@/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf/Ritalin.ttf) at 
./xxxxxxx line 12.

Thanks
