[Bug 1877032] [NEW] Unable to use Pango with ImageMagick

[GunChleoc]

Public bug reported:

I am trying to use Pango for rendering text with Imagemagick, but it is
not recognized. I'm on Linux Mint 19.9 Tessa 64 Bit, which uses Bionic
packages.

The same command works fine on Ubuntu Trusty (14.04).

So, I am wondering whether this is a packaging bug. If it is not, please
close this.

This is what I was doing:

I am trying to run one of the examples from:
https://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#pango

```
$ convert -background lightblue pango:"Anthony Thyssen" pango.gif
```
Resulting in:

```
convert-im6.q16: unable to open image `pango:Anthony Thyssen': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2701.
convert-im6.q16: no decode delegate for this image format `' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/504.
convert-im6.q16: no images defined `pango.gif' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3258.
```

I checked the available formats with `convert -list format` and Pango is
indeed not listed.
