I've just started using the GD library in PHP to do some graphic
manipulation/creation. I find myself quite confused about how to work with
fonts.
I believe that I have both FreeType & TrueType enabled, since my phpinfo()
says
'--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-gd'
'--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-ttf'
& under GD it says
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
What I'm unclear on is how/where I can find fonts to use. Should I expect
to find them already installed on the server somewhere? Or does one
typically have to download & install them as needed?
Or am I just misunderstanding how fonts work?
