note 45518 added to function.imagettftext

In reply to chmouel@chmouel.com The method I am using for calculating the average font character size is as follows: <?php //This will work out the font spacing for the given font and font size. $font = "fonts/arial.ttf"; $fontsize = 12; $test = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; $bbox = imagettfbbox($fontsize, 0, $font, $test); $testwidth = max($bbox[0],$bbox[2],$bbox[4],$bbox[6]) - min($bbox[0],$bbox[2],$bbox[4],$bbox[6]); //Take off 28 (total no. of pixels used as gaps between the 26 characters) $font_space = ($testwidth - 28 ) / 26; ?> I am currently using this on various fonts between size 8 and size 12.. The more characters you include in the test string the more accurate the font spacing should be. I find the majority are lowercase alpha characters on my site so this works fine for me. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+45518 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+45518&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+45518&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
