note 43919 added to function.imageftbbox

You should use this function if you are planning on writing text to the image using imagefttext() and you need to know if the text will fit. imageFTtext and imageFTbbox use the FreeType2 font rendering library. imageTTFtext and imageTTFbbox use the original FreeType library. The major differences are as follows: 1. FreeType2 has a high-quality, patent-free antialiasing alogorithm. 2. FreeType2 can also render Postscript fonts, in addition to TrueType fonts. 3. The extrainfo parameter allows you to adjust linespacing. <?php $box = imageftbbox($fontsize, $angle, $fontfile, $text, array('linespacing'=>$linespace)); ?> In my testing, PHP 4.3.4 on Windows (not tested on *nix) had a bug that caused imageFTbbox() to fail if you used the extrainfo parameter. PHP 4.3.7 seems to have cured the problem. I did not test 4.3.5 or 4.3.6. The Windows download comes with both FreeType and FreeType2 functions compiled in. If you're on a *nix host, your mileage may vary :) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imageftbbox.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+43919 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+43919&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+43919&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
