#27693 [Bgs]: imagettftext() coupled with imagecreatetruecolor() displays yellow fonts.
ID: 27693
Updated by: pajoye@php.net
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:
"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."
"FreeType Version 1.3"... just forget it sorry.
Then even when they upgrade it (in some servers, as I got one) it was
the version "2.0", with which gd has some bugs with rotated text. I
used a dedicated server there, so I upgraded myself to a recent version
(2.1.7). Everything is fine since.
So please keep this bug quiet and ask support questions on the right
list (ie, php-install) or beg your ISP to upgrade to a recent
freetype.

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?

ttf = freetype 1, old and buggy
freetype = freetype 2, new, not buggy
So just compile PHP against the newer version, not a bug -> bogus.

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...

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.

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.
