#33484 [Bgs]: Rendered Text gets Blocks around characters

ID: 33484 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported By: designshoe at gmx dot net Status: Bogus Bug Type: GD related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5CVS, 4CVS (2005-06-28) Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: Ok, but now please use one of our mailing lists to ask for further information. The font you provided works here, so it does seem to be a bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-28 15:35:59] designshoe at gmx dot net > You see the freetype version in phpinfo(). I thought so too, in the first place. But it only says: FreeType Support enabled FreeType Linkage with freetype on system (2). > rpm -q should work even when you are not admin. I do not know if apt works neither other exotic system :) It is a very well secured debian system on which I am not allowed to use "apt-cache search" :) As for now, I have to wait until I get home to check my development system for its version of freetype.

I tried it on two different systems. On system (1) I used the snapshot _and_ PHP 4.3.8. It works with the old version, it is broken with the snapshot (freetype-php-connection?). I will check the freetype version on that system when I get home. How do I determine the Freetype version? I habe been using Google now but was not successful. And "freetype-config --version" is obviously not the same. I am not an admin on system (2) so I do not know all packages installed. Cheers, Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-28 14:44:54] pajoye@php.net This font works (zod.ttf) for me using php 5.1 (head) or b3 and freetype 2.1.10. --Pierre ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-28 09:53:51] designshoe at gmx dot net As I can see for #33489 this bug seems to be closed. If you have a look at the pictures over there and at mine here (see above): they are different. At #33489 the characters were completely left out. I am talking about the letters surrounded by white space. I do not think that it is because of bad font files because I tried it with Type1 fonts from Adobe. And it worked for all fonts (free TTFs from the web and highq quality Type1s from Adobe) on Version 4.3.9 and before. Here is the font file I used above: http://krapplack.de/php-bug/zod.ttf What I can say is that it only happens with italic fonts. Neither with regular nor with bold font faces. Any ideas?
