There are one or two issues though, I don't know what the core-dev's feel about these, ming doesn't support normal (ps) fonts directly and I don't think it supports any normal image formats directly (you have to convert your image into ming format and then use the converted image). The second issue and the most important in my mind is that the bundled php-ming extension doesn't really conform with PHP naming standards (all OO interface, which btw, does look nicer than any non-OO interface I can think of) and the code doesn't all conform with the CODING_STANDARDS. I don't know if any of the above errors are showstoppers, however, I think that ming is definetly something to keep in mind, at least for the future... -Sterling
