You should also try with GD 1.8.4. --Jani ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-05 20:10:57] james@computer-geek.co.uk Having battled for days trying to get the illusive ImageTTFText() feature to actually work, it seems that the text rendering is "blocky". My build is as follows: FreeType 2.0.5 GD 2.0.1 PHP 4.0.6 Try this link: http://www.virtualisp.co.uk/test/actionbutton.php?t=Text This is the PHP4.0.6 version. I have an older server running 4.0.4pl1, gd1.8.3 and freetype 1.3.1 at: http://resellers.virtualisp.co.uk:8080/icons/actionbutton.php?t=Text This renders fine. I can't get 4.0.4pl1 to work with FreeType on my Slackware 8 box and the only version that seems to compile is 4.0.6 with PNG, JPEG, GD2 and FreeType 2. Is this a problem with GD/FreeType or PHP4.0.6? I read an article in the general mailing list about this so tried to go back to 4.0.5 but keep getting errors with FreeType / PNG - it's as if 4.0.5 doesn't want to see FreeType 2 as debug.log keeps referencing -lttf instead of -lfreetype and -I/usr/local/include/freetype instead of -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 Any ideas? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13941&edit=1
