#30739 [Asn->Csd]: Writing on a Black BG

ID: 30739 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported By: nate at highsocietyfreeride dot com -Status: Assigned +Status: Closed Bug Type: GD related Operating System: apache? PHP Version: 4.3.10-dev Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: This bug has been fixed in CVS. Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. Hello, The bug was due to imagefill, it did not set back the alphablending to true. This is somehow required for font rendering with antialiasing. Btw, with true color images you do not need to fill the background with black, the default is black (0). a temporary fix is to call imagealphablending(true); after imagefill. Bug is fixed in cvs. Thanks for this report, --Pierre Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-10 09:39:15] tony2001@php.net Confirmed with 4.3.10-dev, not reproducible with 5.0.x & 5.1.x branch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-10 00:05:41] nate at highsocietyfreeride dot com Description: ------------ First off, I'm not sure what verison of PHP our servers use. My hosting service is IpowerWeb.com When I use imagettftext to write onto an image, it works fine, unless I allocate the color of 0,0,0. Even 1,1,1 works just fine. When I write to a complete black background the text shows up as rectangles, not the actual letters. The rectangles look like bounding boxes because they take the size of the actual letter its trying to print. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $im_header = imagecreatetruecolor( 440, 83); $white = imagecolorallocate($im_header, 255, 255, 255); $black = imagecolorallocate($im_header, 0, 0, 0); imagefill($im_header,0,0,$black); imagecolortransparent($im_header, $black); imagettftext($im_header, 32, 0, 0, 42, $white, "fonts/verdana.TTF", "test"); imagejpeg($im_header); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30739&edit=1
