And the reason was that the user my apache runs as did not have read access to the fonts. So you might wanna check that too. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-09 09:13:17] rasmus@php.net Try it without the .ttf extension. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-09 09:12:23] mfischer@php.net To fix it for you, try to run the affecting php script through the cgi from the command line and use strace to see which file it is really trying to access, e.g. strace -e trace=open php-cgi -f script.php Try to avoid the imagejpeg() call so you don't clutter your terminal with binary data. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-09 08:55:55] ulf@ecora.de TTF-Fonts don't work on WinXP with PHP 4.2.1 and GD 2.0.1 and on Suse Linux with PHP 4.2.0 and GD 2.0.1 On every use with imagettftext or imagettfbbox: Could not find/open font in e:\try\bild.php4 on line x $im = imagecreate(420,315); $grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 60, 60, 60); imagettftext($im, 80, 0, 20, 50, $grey, 'font.ttf', 'test'); imagejpeg($im); font.ttf is in the same directory like the PHP-Script and an absolute path will also not work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17666&edit=1
