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 You have to give latin2 (ISO-8859-2) strings or char. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-08 05:24:19] bengt at sm7jqb dot se My eample is here http://sm7jqb.se/PHP/test_sv_jpeg.php And the script, just taken from the book <?php $im = imagecreate(150, 30); $bg = imagecolorallocate($im, 250, 250, 250); $textcolor = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0); // write the string at the top left imagestring($im, 5, 0, 0, "-Test-ÅÄÖ-åäö-", $textcolor); //My swedish letter Å-å goes wrong, just this letter only! // output the image header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); imagejpeg($im); ?> My webhotel run 4.4.1 byt I have same truble at home with 4.1. and it was the same problem with 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-08 00:41:52] derick@php.net The built in fonts in GD all use latin2 which doesn't have your characters in the same places as the latin1 you're using. .. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-07 16:49:26] pajoye@php.net Can you provide a 3-5lines script to reproduce your problem?
