#27693 [Com]: imagettftext() coupled with imagecreatetruecolor() displays yellow fonts.

ID: 27693 Comment by: cartoonlad at thesnakefarm dot com Reported By: xavier dot blanchet at free dot fr Status: Bogus Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: So for those of us who are muddling around with configuring php for the first time, what does that mean? Use --enable-gd-native-ttf in the configure? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-05 11:01:35] derick@php.net ttf = freetype 1, old and buggy freetype = freetype 2, new, not buggy So just compile PHP against the newer version, not a bug -> bogus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-05 09:56:18] xavier dot blanchet at free dot fr For me on Windows, it all works fine. On Linux I cannot try the latest version before my hoster (OVH.com) has migrated :-( But as I have already mentionned the beta version PHP5 ( http://240plan.ovh.net/test.beta )returns these same yellow fonts. However I noticed something interessting: each time i met someone in forums, newsgroups... experiencing the same problem, the FreeType Linkage in the phpinfo() was with "TTF Library". "with FreeType" is ok... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-03 09:51:00] nlopess@php.net I can't reproduce either with PHP 4.2.6RC2-dev. I think the problem may be only with Unicode fonts, althought it works for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-01 11:56:52] iliaa@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip I am still unable to replicate the problem using the Arial ttf font avaliable on my system. Please include your configure line in your reply. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-01 07:47:13] xavier dot blanchet at free dot fr I was hoping PHP 4.3.5 would resolve the bug, but as I tried the same script on PHP Version 5.0.0b2 Beta ( http://240plan.ovh.net/test.beta ) and faced the same problem, i did not believe in a PHP version 4.3.5 working fine with ttf fonts... According to Sandeep, I was right :-( ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
