Anyhow, this looks very much like an upstream issue, so please report there[1]. But before, also check whether that happens with other fonts as well, and if possible, try with GD 2.3.3 or even their master HEAD. Also mention the freetype version you are using. [1] <https://github.com/libgd/libgd/issues> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-11-12 12:50:13] dwhile at while dot org dot uk I have copied your code (and changed the font path to the relevant Linux format.

GD version is 2.3.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-11-12 12:37:21] cmb@php.net To clarify, the following slightly modified example <?php $im = imagecreatetruecolor(30, 300); $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255); $grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128); $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0); imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 29, 299, $white); $text = 'Testing...'; $font = 'C:/Windows/Fonts/Arial.ttf'; imagettftext($im, 20, 90, 26, 221, $grey, $font, $text); imagettftext($im, 20, 90, 25, 220, $black, $font, $text); imagepng($im, __DIR__ . "/81617.png"); ?> should give something like <https://imgur.com/a/kH8JmNG>. It is expected that the text is rendered from bottom to top; if you want it the other way, use an angle of 270°. However, if I understand you correctly, in your case the letters are overlayed. Which GD version do you use? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
