Pango seems to be working much better.

EDIT: Except that it doesn't automatically assign a font size to fill the space, which is an important part of what I'm trying to do.

convert -size 300x700 -caption:@lorempipsum.txt test5.jpg

No -caption: ---- remove the minus before caption
convert -verbose -size 300x700 caption:@lorempipsum.txt test.jpg
Well, now it just keeps running for several minutes with no output.

My guess is that there is too much text for the ...

Well, that works for small amounts of text, but...

Got the left, expected something more like the right

Code for the right side version:

Might be because I ...

What I did:
Put the source tarball in a directory that contained spaces in its name (e.g: "A B")
Extracted
./configure

What I expected:
Successful make
What I got:
Error and failure to make
Change I made:
Renamed the directory to not contain spaces
What I got:

Upgrading imagemagick seems to have solved that problem.

EDIT: How do I mark this solved?

$ convert -verbose SVG-canvas-test.svg SVG-canvas-test.png
"inkscape" "SVG-canvas-test.svg" --export-eps="/tmp/magick-7690KEgYgCpFp2e9" --export-dpi="90,90" --export-background="rgb(100%,100%,100%)" --export-background-opacity="1" > "/tmp/magick-7690qEEi2fs9PDyE" 2>&1

For me, it doesn't say anything.

I assume that means it isn't using Inkscape?

EDIT: $ inkscape --version
Inkscape 0.48.3.1 r9886 (Jan 29 2013)

EDIT 2: Just updated Inkscape:
$ inkscape --version
Inkscape 0.91 r (Jan 30 2015)
This doesn't seem to have solved the problem.

EDIT 3: $ convert SVG ...

How do I tell what imagemagick is using to render?
I made the SVG in Inkscape

I made an SVG image in Inkscape, and it has some objects outside the page boundaries, and I want to convert it to PNG.

I don't want the stuff outside the page boundaries to be in the resulting PNG. How do I do this?

I tried this, but it included the stuff outside the page boundaries:
