No, it's not that. I too had occasional problems with the text not getting generated with T1lib versions 0.9.x (and that was also with PHP3), after swithing to version 1.x I haven't been able to recreate the problem. So that's why I haven't even looked at the sources and fixed the problem, I've been assuming there isn't any bugs. Please tell me you are using an old version of T1lib... otherwise, you'll have to tell more about your server and setup. -- Jouni Ahto PS: Mä vaikutan Helsingissä, että jos toi ongelma on todellakin tosi kriittinen jollekin projektille niin voit saada imageps*() -funktioiden kirjoittajan itsensä paikan päälle selvittämään asiaa.
