when you say it doesn't work, do you mean that you get an error message or
it just doesn't write the text to the image?

Hi,
I'm using the code in the manual to draw text on a png.
but Its not working - ImageString() works but not ImageTTFText()
I uploaded arial.ttf from windows to fonts/ folder
Any Ideas:
as a side note: PNG's - any real disadvantage to using them
instead of gifs - not withstanding the compuserve issue and
old browsers.
the code
button.php
<?php
Header ("Content-type: image/png");
$im = imagecreate (400, 30);
$black = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$white = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
ImageTTFText ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $white, "fonts/arial.ttf","Testing...
Omega: Ω");
ImagePng ($im);
ImageDestroy ($im);
?>
and i call it with
<img src="button.php" border="0" alt="">
