RE: [PHP] Fonts with PDFlib

Chris, I already had: PDF_set_parameter($pdf, "resourcefile", "/usr/local/fonts/pdflib.upr"); in the .php file. I went ahead and added the putenv() function in too, but it didn't make a difference, the fonts are still hollow. I have copied the fonts/ directory of PDFlib-4.0.1 to /usr/local and they are world-readable. Do you have any other suggestions as to what could be wrong?
