Now I'm searching the command for complex text;
1st line - x font, x text size, x color
2nd line - y font, y text size, x color
3rd line - z font, z text size, z color
etc.

However, for multi-line you need something like this

Code:

mogrify \
-define jpg -font Futura-Bold.ttf -pointsize 48 -fill red  -annotate +50+100 "line 1" \
-font Ubuntu-M.ttf -pointsize 48 -fill green  -annotate +50+150 "line 2" \
-font Futura-Bold.ttf -pointsize 30 -fill blue  -annotate +50+200 "line 3" *.jpg

Note you need the font files (ttf) in the same place as the images. Example:

Thanks for your advice.  Performed following test;

$ convert \
> -define jpg -font UbuntuMono-B.ttf -pointsize 70 -fill red  -annotate +450+150 "Today: June 25, 2022" \
> -font UbuntuMono-B.ttf -pointsize 60 -fill green  -annotate +450+150 "Photographed at Home" \
> -font UbuntuMono-B.ttf -pointsize 60 -fill blue  -annotate +450+150 "Age: 6 months" p01_60.jpg p01_60_date.jpg

Code:

convert-im6.q16: unable to read font `UbuntuMono-B.ttf' @ warning/annotate.c/RenderType/915.

$ fc-list | grep UbuntuMono-B.ttf

Code:

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu/UbuntuMono-B.ttf: Ubuntu Mono:style=Bold

Failed
