I am trying to render an 8 pixel pixel font without anti aliasing to look crisp (silkscreen) in 8pt with gd. the font is huge and ugly: <?php // Set the content-type header("Content-type: image/png"); // Create the image $im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 30); // Create some colors $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255); $grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128); $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0); imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 399, 29, $white); // The text to draw $text = 'Testing...'; // Replace path by your own font path $font = 'silkscreen.ttf'; // Add some shadow to the text imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 11, 21, $grey, $font, $text); // Add the text imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text); // Using imagepng() results in clearer text compared with imagejpeg() imagepng($im); imagedestroy($im); ?> -- any ideas?

maybe, maybe not. I get punished for stuff I didn't do all the time ... why shouldn't he ;-)

This list has the tendancy to send double posts from time to time.

it does? haven't noticed that. I'll be more vigilant (well I'll try)

use '8' instead of '20' for the fontsize.
