When tried to run the "identify -list font" command it has support for the font which is used in convert command here.
Font: Times-Roman
family: Times
style: Normal
stretch: Normal
weight: 400
glyphs: /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n021003l.pfb
Any help appreciated . Thanks.

Answer 1

The issue is that the font is a freetype one and you have not got the freetype delegate installed - it is not listed under DELEGATES in your identify -list configure or if you run identify -version. You need to install it.
