Bug #13502: ImageTTFText double-strikes text

From: holdrens@nukote.com Operating system: Linux 2.4.6 - Debian PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: *Graphics related Bug description: ImageTTFText double-strikes text When I specify an absolute path to a font with ImageTTFText, such as "$DOCUMENT_ROOT/fonts/verdana.ttf", it displays the text twice on top of itself, but slightly misaligned to produce a blurring effect. I get this effect with all truetype fonts. ImagePSText does not exhibit this behavior. When I specify the font using a relative path, like "../../../../$DOCUMENT_ROOT/fonts/verdana.ttf", it displays fine. Here's an example of what causes the problem: $im = ImageCreate(100,100); $white = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF); $b $black = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00); ImageTTFText($im,16,0,0,50,$black, "$DOCUMENT_ROOT/fonts/verdana.ttf","Testing..."); Header("Content-type: image/png"); ImagePNG($im); ImageDestroy($im); And here's what makes the problem go away: ImageTTFText($im,16,0,0,50,$black, "../../../../$DOCUMENT_ROOT/fonts/verdana.ttf", "Testing..."); -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=13502&edit=1
