Hi @TarunavBA You can see that I got an error from ImageMagick on fonts, but it still made the image.
I used terminal to create a new file called catchphrase.sh and then I pasted my code above directly. Then, I saved that and then ran bash catchphrase.sh and it was interactive.
I went into my Font Book to find a different font, and then I used convert -list font to see which fonts I had available. I changed the font from CourierNewB to Marker-Felt-Wide
Then, I reran the program, and you can see a different result.
