Bug #12956 Updated: libgd2 + TTF = ugly fonts.

ID: 12956 Updated by: sniper Reported By: php-bugs@c0de.net Old Status: Open Status: Feedback Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux PHP Version: 4.0CVS-2001-08-25 New Comment: First, create a short but complete example script and include it here so we can test it. Second, you should use the correct paths for the configure options: --with-freetype-dir=/usr And btw. This configure option is for freetype2. ( --with-ttf is for freetype 1.x ) Also note that GD2 is in BETA. This might instead being a bug in PHP, be a bug in GD2. --Jani Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-25 03:15:14] php-bugs@c0de.net It all started when my boss wanted better looking thumbnails. I found that imagecopyresampled() would make better thumbnails. It requires libgd2 for it to work. I removed libgd1 and installed libgd2. The thumbnails are great now, but the ttf's are very bad. They are larger and I think that the anti-alias is turned off or something. I went back to libgd1 and the fonts look good. I downloaded the CVS php4 and tried with that, still same problem. I can't use libgd2 and have nice fonts. I can't use libgd1 and have nice thumbnails. I'm stuck. Here is my configure line: ./configure --with-apxs=/www/bin/apxs --enable-track-vars --enable-trans-sid --with-gd --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-pgsql --without-mysql --with-imap --with-openssl and also: ./configure --with-apxs=/www/bin/apxs --enable-track-vars --enable-trans-sid --with-freetype-dir=/usr/lib --with-gd --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-ttf --with-t1lib --with-pgsql --without-mysql --with-imap --with-openssl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12956&edit=1
