Ok, for all you windows users that STILL get the Could not find/open font error... i think i've found the solution. The php-for-windows package has the directory /windows/fonts hardcoded for all Win32 distributions. It doesn't look anywhere else (e.g. the php folder, the documentroot or the script location). However, if you use Windows XP, the windows-home directory is not WINNT as in Win2k, but Windows (back to the old days). The next solution is not elegant, but it works (and is the only solution i have found that works for winXP). Create a directory Winnt\fonts in the root of the same partition as your main operating system, and put the fonts you want to use in the newly created fonts-directory... enjoy! (thnx to Pioneer for helping me out on this one) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40862 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40862&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40862&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
