Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-03 08:25:55] usenet@watson-wilson.ca The very nature of this problem is generating an image using an externally referenced true type font. There is no way that I know of to include the font in the php script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-02 21:43:18] sniper@php.net Provide a complete, self-contained script. The one here now can't be copy'pasted and run.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-30 11:07:36] usenet@watson-wilson.ca 1. I have not updated or changed GD in anyway. 2. I've tried --with-ttf=/usr/local but there was no improvement. Here is the script: <? Header("Content-type: image/png"); // note - must use the absolute font path // be careful about blank lines in your code which will output a blank and confuse browser $font = "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/WORLDOFW.ttf"; $box = imagettfbbox($size, 0, $font, $text); $xsize = $box[2]-$box[0]+10; $ysize = $box[1]-$box[7]+10; $xstart = ($xsize - ($box[2] - $box[0])) / 2; $ystart = ($ysize - ($box[1] - $box[7])) / 2 - $box[7]; $im = imagecreate($xsize,$ysize); $white = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255,255,255); $black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0,0,0); $trans=ImageColorTransparent($im,$white); ImageTTFText($im, $size, 0, $xstart, $ystart, $black, $font, $text); Imagepng($im); ImageDestroy($im); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
