#21712 [Fbk->Opn]: Using ImageCreateFromJPEG with ImageTTFText causes type to appear jagged

ID: 21712 User updated by: gkopp@ideastar.com Reported By: gkopp@ideastar.com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: GD related Operating System: RedHat 6.1 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: It would appear that I might have been using the unbundled version of gd. I went back to my test machine and removed all references to gd in /usr/local and recomipiled. That seemed to do the trick. I did use the latest build as you suggested. I am going to go back and try recompiling my production machine using the same settings but using the release version of 4.3.0. Thanks for your help.

For reference I am including a URL to the image created using 4.3.1-dev + bundled GD library. http://bb.prohost.org/img.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-17 14:33:59] gkopp@ideastar.com Not sure about which libttf version. I know I have freetype-2.0.9 installed on the machine with the link below. Not sure if that helps. http://tpol.ideastar.com/test.php The code that produces bad results: <?php $text = "Jagged Text"; Header("Content-type: image/png"); $source_file = "bluebox.jpg"; $target_id = ImageCreateFromJPEG ($source_file); $fontsize = 36; $xpos = 20; $ypos = 40; $font_color = ImageColorAllocate ($target_id, 255, 255, 255); $font = "/usr/local/www/archer/FRAMDCN.TTF"; ImageTTFText ($target_id, $fontsize, 0, $xpos, $ypos, $font_color, $font, $text); ImageJpeg($target_id); ImageDestroy($target_id); ?> The code that produces good results (trial and error figured this one out): <? $text = "Clear Text"; header("Content-type: image/png"); $source_file = "bluebox.jpg"; $source_size = getimagesize($source_file); $source_w = $source_size[0]; $source_h = $source_size[1]; $source_id = ImageCreateFromJPEG($source_file); $target_id = ImageCreate ($source_w, $source_h); ImageCopyResampled($target_id, $source_id, 0, 0, 0, 0, $source_w, $source_h, $source_w, $source_h); $fontsize = 36; $xpos = 20; $ypos = 40; $font_color = ImageColorAllocate ($target_id, 255, 255, 255); $font = "/usr/local/www/archer/FRAMDCN.TTF"; ImageTTFText ($target_id, $fontsize, 0, $xpos, $ypos, $font_color, $font, $text); ImagePNG ($target_id); ImageDestroy ($target_id); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-17 14:09:01] iliaa@php.net I've tried to duplicate the problem you've described using PHP 4.3.0 using bundled GD and PHP 4.2.3 using standard GD. Both produce absolutely identical images with the TTF (arial) font that I've used. What version of freetype library are you using and if possible can you put the 'good' & 'bad' image online for comparison reasons. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-17 12:59:10] gkopp@ideastar.com They are equal. Basically, this code takes a template image, and places some dynamic text on top of it. It's used to make custom header graphics for a site, without the need to create new images in Photoshop, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-17 12:39:27] iliaa@php.net Are the dimentions of the 'source' image greater, less then or equal to the size of the 'destination' image? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
