Bug #12064 Updated: Truetype functions can't locate fonts

ID: 12064 User updated by: ben@kescom.net Reported By: ben@kescom.net Status: Feedback Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Windows 2000 SP1 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: That would take a good look at the source code to see how PHP is passing arguments to the GD library. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-22 19:20:16] joey@php.net Fixing "null" status. So, is this a GD Bug, or a PHP bug? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-12 17:34:06] ben@kescom.net Ok, I checked out filemon. Here's what's happening: GD first tries to open files inside the Apache root (not the web root; for instance, on my box, C:\Program Files\Apache. So, if I've specified "C:\\path\\to\\font.ttf" in my path, I end up with: C:\Program Files\Apache\C\C:\path\to\font.ttf.ttf Next, it tries the current directory. However, it seems to be unable to process Windows drive letters, and so defaults to drive C: (my webroot's on D:, which is a problem), so I get C:\path\to\script\C:\path\to\font.ttf.ttf You get the idea. I made a directory structure on C: mimicing that of my D: webroot, but only containing the fonts; it worked fine (although the antialiasing was horrific, but that's a GD/FT2 issue). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-12 17:18:32] ben@kescom.net Pretty sure, but it doesn't work the other way around either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-12 16:08:57] wez@php.net Are you sure that GD understands d:/path/to/font.ttf as a path? Should it be d:\\path\\to\\font.ttf ? --Wez. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-12 16:00:10] dbeu@php.net please use filemon (www.sysinternals.com) to find out where php/gd is searching for the fonts, and report back. thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
