#46293 [Opn]: imagettftext() function doesn't handle UTF-8 encoded strings

ID: 46293 User updated by: php at ibeni dot net Reported By: php at ibeni dot net Status: Open Bug Type: GD related Operating System: FreeBSD c1 6.3-RELEASE PHP Version: 5.2.6 New Comment: I see that bug submission forum has "helpfully" encoded the Japanese text in my code into HTML entities ('日本語'). In my original code, the text is encoded directly in UTF-8 _not_ HTML entities.
