To create a simple transparent gif with black text with any TrueType Font...
Simple put this script into a PHP file and call it with the usual IMG tag.
You can also specify the font size for the IMG tag too.
Change the $font to your own font and upload it to the same directory as this script.
<?php
// Set the content-type
header("Content-type: image/gif");
$fontsize = 18;
if(@$_GET['fontsize']) {
$fontsize = $_GET['fontsize'];
}
$font = 'yourcustomfont.ttf';
$text = @$_GET['text'];
// Create the image
$size = imagettfbbox($fontsize, 0, $font, $text);
$width = $size[2] + $size[0] + 8;
$height = abs($size[1]) + abs($size[7]);
$im = imagecreate($width, $height);
$colourBlack = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
imagecolortransparent($im, $colourBlack);
// Create some colors
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
// Add the text
imagefttext($im, $fontsize, 0, 0, abs($size[5]), $black, $font, $text);
// Using imagepng() results in clearer text compared with
imagegif($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>
