Bug #15913 Updated: imagettftext will not work

ID: 15913 Updated by: Jouser@attbi.com Reported By: shakad@yahoo.com Status: Open Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Windows2000 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: I think this might be why ImageTTFtext from the Image Functions does not work when using GD 2.0.0 or higher (php_gd2.dll). If you use php_gd.dll this function works but the GD library doesn't support true color support. If you want true color support you have to use php_gd2.dll but then this function doesnt work. Anyone experiencing the same problem? Could anyone recompile the php_gd2.dll with Freetype and see if this is the problem? Does anyone know if the same person who compiled php_gd.dll also compiled php_gd2.dll? I think the problem might be that whoever compiled the php_gd2.dll that ships with PHP forgot to compile FreeType library while compiling GD. This is only a guess because I heard someone say that ImageTTFtext works on unix machines which leads me to believe this is the problem. I would test it myself but I don't know how to compile the file :-( Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-13 05:02:21] apz@iname.com Tghis describes the same bug as I mentioned in Bug #14876... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-11 19:33:53] sam@samandkristen.com I get strange errors like the following: PHP Warning: ¸/ª in c:\myfiles\websites\skin\functions.php on line 88 PHP Warning: ˆ/ª in c:\myfiles\websites\skin\functions.php on line 79 PHP Warning: h/ª in c:\myfiles\websites\skin\functions.php on line 79 when trying to call: ImageTTFText ($im, 13, 0, 12, 14, $nav_text_off, $navFontPath, $navText); where $navFontPath is: $navFontPath = "/skin/fonts/".$navFont.".ttf"; Where /skin is in my webroot.
