Bug #12065 Updated: "libgd was not built with TrueType font support" problem

ID: 12065 User updated by: rip@undernet.org Reported By: rip@undernet.org Old Status: Feedback Status: Closed Bug Type: GD related Operating System: FreeBSD 4.3 PHP Version: 4.0.6 Old Assigned To: wez Assigned To: New Comment: Re I am now using : Apache 1.3.20 PHP 4.0.6 + the GD patch freetype2 2.0.3.1 gd 1.8.4.2 It works fine. Thanks wez. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-14 08:59:58] wez@php.net OK, try either using the latest CVS or changing the following line in ext/gd/gd.c of the PHP sources: -# if HAVE_LIBGD20 & HAVE_LIBFREETYPE +# if HAVE_LIBFREETYPE (It's line 2761 for me in CVS; if you can't find it, look for gdImageStringTTF; it's just above it). I hope that fixes the problem! --Wez. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-14 08:44:58] wez@php.net It's a GD 1.8.4 problem: It has both ttf and freetype support in different files; you built it with freetype support, and PHP expects it to use TTF functions, which GD reports are not there. This problem is not present in GD 2.0.1; the TTF functions call the FT functions instead. I'll work up a patch for this case, so that PHP can try and stay ahead. --Wez. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-13 13:31:10] rip@undernet.org Re No Way... That's not the case. And I have the same error on : 2 FreeBSD 4.3 box 1 linux 2.4.6 box I say when you compile PHP 4.0.4/4.0.5/4.0.6 as a DSO module, truetype font support is screwed... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-13 03:02:32] wez@php.net The only thing that I can think of is that you have and older version of libgd.so or libgd.a hanging around that is mistakenly being linked in instead of the one you were expecting, and that configure found. Please look around your system to see if that is the case; I would recommend moving the duplicates to some not in the lib path temporarily while compiling PHP and see if you still have the same problem. --Wez. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-12 19:35:42] rip@undernet.org oops... I had to reply here... sorry. Re True, for GD I always have this in the Makefile : CFLAGS=-O -DHAVE_LIBPNG -DHAVE_LIBJPEG -DHAVE_LIBFREETYPE LIBS=-lgd -lpng -lz -ljpeg -lfreetype -lm Can you successfully run the GD test programs that work with TTF/Freetype? (if there are any). Yes. I modified gdtestft.c to load the arial font instead of the "times" one by default. http://www.documents.cyberabuse.org/fttest.png Another proof of GD having freetype compiled with it is the phpinfo() result : FreeType Support enabled FreeType Linkage with freetype (with freetype 2) FreeType Support enabled FreeType Linkage with TTF library (with freetype 1) If phpinfo() says it's ok and then the function says it's bugged... then I say something is wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
