When run from /tmp with all the font files in the same directory, it works. But when I moved into a CIFS mounted webroot, it stops working. It also fails when executing from the command line, from apache, as root, etc. Test script: --------------- <?php $cwd = getcwd(); putenv("GDFONTPATH=$cwd"); // Note: You can find DejaVuSans.ttf on /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/ // if you "apt-get install ttf-dejavu" $font1 = 'DejaVuSans.ttf'; $image = imagecreate( 400, 400 ); $bgcolor = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 0, 0); $color = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 0); imagefttext( $image, 10, 0, 100, 100, $color, $font1, 'Test1'); header("Content-Type: image/png"); imagepng($image); imagedestroy($image); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Both on a cifs mounted drive and a normal path you should get the PNG image with the "Test1" string. Actual result: -------------- # php test.php PHP Warning: imagefttext(): Could not find/open font in /var/www/phemiumconsultant/portals/consultant/runtime3g/layouts/fonts/test.php on line 12 ...PNG... binary data... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54520&edit=1
