note 68366 added to function.imagettftext

I found this line a little confusing: "May include decimal numeric character references (of the form: €) to access characters in a font beyond position 127." I was using a font that had apostrophes and quotes stored in a non-standard position, and so they were being rendered as spaces by imagettftext. This line seemed to suggest a solution, but it took a while to figure it out. Turns out, a "decimal numeric character reference" is a decimal conversion of the hex value of the *unicode* position of the character you want. For a while I was trying ASCII positions (I knew the ALT+ code for typing the character I needed in Windows). In the Windows XP character map, the unicode positions are shown as U+2018 or U+201C, etc. Ignore the U+ and convert that hex number to decimal, and then stick that in your text string with the &# on the front and ; on the end, and pass it to imagettftext. --Julian ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 72.136.198.163 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/68366 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68366/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68366/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68366/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68366/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68366/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68366/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68366 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/68366 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
