#23527 [Opn]: PostScript Type 1 font do not render properly

ID: 23527 User updated by: nid at home dot se Reported By: nid at home dot se Status: Open Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Linux Slackware 8 PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: I found a solution for this problem, when tampering with ext/gd/gd.c I don't have the original line numbers available, because of some tampering. But it is not hard to find it. In the php-function imagepstext, there is a codesnippet that looks like this: --------[code starts]----- for (i = 1; i < str_len; i++) { amount_kern = (int) T1_GetKerning(*f_ind, str[i-1], str[i]); amount_kern += str[i-1] == ' ' ? space : 0; add_width = (int) (amount_kern+width)/extend; char_path = T1_GetMoveOutline(*f_ind, add_width, 0, 0, size, transform); str_path = T1_ConcatOutlines(str_path, char_path); char_path = T1_GetCharOutline(*f_ind, str[i], size, transform); str_path = T1_ConcatOutlines(str_path, char_path); } str_img = T1_AAFillOutline(str_path, 0); -----[code ends]------- if you instead make this like it WAS in <=php4.2, it should look like this: ----[code starts]---- if (width) // this is the change { for (i = 1; i < str_len; i++) { amount_kern = (int) T1_GetKerning(*f_ind, str[i-1], str[i]); amount_kern += str[i-1] == ' ' ? space : 0; add_width = (int) (amount_kern+width)/extend; char_path = T1_GetMoveOutline(*f_ind, add_width, 0, 0, size, transform); str_path = T1_ConcatOutlines(str_path, char_path); char_path = T1_GetCharOutline(*f_ind, str[i], size, transform); str_path = T1_ConcatOutlines(str_path, char_path); } str_img = T1_AAFillOutline(str_path, 0); } else // change continues here { str_img = T1_AASetString(*f_ind, str, str_len, space, T1_KERNING, size, transform); } ----[code ends]---- Then the problem went away (until you set the space-property to a non-zero value). So, evidentually, there is some kind of bug, or PHP handles spaced texts differently than t1lib does as standard. For further releases, can you _please_ put the "if (width)"-statement as it was before? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-09 06:07:56] nid at home dot se I just downloaded the latest snapshot from snaps.php.net (http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-200305090930.tar.gz). It does not work as I want, since the font is still not correct in size 9,10 and 12. (as it is in php <=4.2). The build parameters this time is: ./configure \ --with-mysql \ --enable-track-vars \ --enable-ftp \ --enable-sockets \ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr \ --with-png-dir=/usr \ --with-zlib-dir=/usr \ --with-gd \ --with-t1lib=/usr/local \ --with-dom \ --with-expat-dir=/usr/local \ --enable-xslt \ --with-xslt-sablot \ --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \ --with-curl=/usr/local \ --disable-session so, yes. I do use the bundled version of GD. (it says: bundled (2.0.12 compatible) in phpinfo()). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-09 05:26:24] sniper@php.net When you use the latest stable snapshot and compile it to use the _bundled_ GD library (by leaving the path out of --with-gd), does it work or not? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-09 01:38:11] nid at home dot se Try generating an image with font size 12, and you might get the same results as me. The font renders well in some sizes (i've been testing 11 and 13 and higher). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-08 20:22:10] iliaa@php.net Here is an image that was produced with your sample script using latest stable PHP & bundled GD (with your font). As far as I can tell the text is perfect. http://bb.prohost.org/test2.png ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-08 02:12:56] nid at home dot se Sorry for setting the status to "open" again. The password-box's standard-button is the upper "submit"-button, which is kind of wrong. (shouldn't be discussed here I think) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
