Bug #7769 Updated: antialias does not work properly in imagettftext

ID: 7769 Updated by: nordmann@orgatech.de Reported By: defiant@telnet.hu Status: Closed Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Debian Lin "woody" PHP Version: 4.0.3pl1 Assigned To: markonen New Comment: i removed the "--enable-freetype-4bit-antialias-hack" option from the build-script in Debian 2.2's php4-package. Black Text with ImageTTFText gets gray when used with antialiasing. i discovered that Debian's "freetype2"-package is really freetype1. the freetype2 (called freetype6) is only available with the upcoming Debian 3.0. i'll try to downport freetype 2 to Debian 2.2 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-11-13 07:35:08] sniper@php.net 'fixed'? --Jani ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-11-12 20:20:05] markonen@php.net You compiled with the --enable-freetype-4bit-antialias-hack configure option, right? That option is bogus, and has been removed from 4.0.4. You should be able to use PHP with freetype2 anyway, but only with 2-bit (4-shade) antialiasing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-11-12 16:08:08] defiant@telnet.hu Hi there! The following script should produce a BLACK text over a red rectangle on a white background. It almost does that, except that the color of the text is GRAY. header ("Content-type: image/png"); $im = ImageCreate (250, 40); $background_color = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255); $rect_color = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 0, 0); $text_color = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0); ImageFill($im, 0, 0, $background_color); ImageFilledRectangle($im, 60, 5, 100, 35, $rect_color); ImageTTFText ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $text_color, "/cda/ttf/ARIAL.TTF", "Testing... "); ImagePng ($im); If I turned off the antialiasing with ImageTTFText ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, 1*$text_color, "/cda/ttf/ARIAL.TTF", "Testing... "); then the text color is black again (negative color index). I do not know if it is a problem with GD or Freetype or PHP or the Debian package. A script like this worked for me fine before, but it does not right now. Debian packages installed: PHP-4.0.3pl1-2 libgd1-1.8.3-4 freetype2-1.3.1-1 Regards, Tamas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=7769&edit=1
