#33489 [Opn->Bgs]: Certain true type fonts shows squares instead of text

ID: 33489 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported By: informatica at diputacionavila dot es -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Linux Fedora Core 2 PHP Version: 5.1.0b2 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: I dunno but the freetype libs is my reference implementation. The fonts are definitivally not valid. It's always somehow possible to hack and allow broken formats. But it will introduce more troubles for well formated fonts. --Pierre Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-28 13:47:23] informatica at diputacionavila dot es First of all thaks a lot for your time and patient. Just one question more ¿Why this fonts works fine in previous versions to 5.0.3 (<= 5.0.2)? I have done a test showing four fonts, in my server with php5.0.2 this is the result http://www.diputacionavila.es/xgarbage/gif4.php, and my server with php5.1.0b2 shows this: http://rh.homelinux.net/xgarbage/gif4.php Thanks again ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-27 16:58:47] pajoye@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php None of these are somehow valid. Better said they completely broken. The only who do not raise a direct error is weather. I used freetype directly and various freetype debug tools. Fix your fonts, sorry. --Pierre ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-26 09:18:00] informatica at diputacionavila dot es Here you have links to some problematic fonts http://www.diputacionavila.es/weather.ttf http://www.diputacionavila.es/vacation.ttf http://www.diputacionavila.es/wingdng3.ttf http://www.diputacionavila.es/zaf.ttf If you need anything else... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-23 18:47:18] pajoye@php.net Please provide a link to the ttf fonts causing problems. I may try to allow broken fonts. But only if the changes will not break well defined fonts. --Pierre ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-28 09:08:25] sniper@php.net Pierre, you broke this? :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
