Now im trying the Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese. And i have no luck. Even if i try the aria.ttf font which supports.. *Unicode ranges*Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Greek and > Coptic, Cyrillic, Cyrillic Supplementary, Hebrew, Reserved for Unicode > SubRanges, Arabic, Reserved for Unicode SubRanges, Arabic Presentation > Forms-A, Arabic Presentation Forms-B http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FID=8&FNAME=Arial > As described on the fonts info on this page. It displays fine on the browser if i set the correct charset ex:<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-8-I" > > > But when i try it on a image, that has been created with GD. It does nothing. I just want to confirm, it what im doing with the fonts possible thru GD/Jpeg? Please help, if this aint possible. I think imight purchase the PDFLib instead to test the unicode support. -- Louie Miranda http://www.axishift.com -- under development
