Note Submitter: jvkootenNotThisPart at planet dot nl ---- I noticed that the specified y coordinate in this function at least for some fonts (but maybe all) means the font's baseline, and not the true font's bottom line. This means that when creating an image that is exactly the size of the text you want to render (calculated using the imagettfbbox function), letters like j, p, g, etc. fall off the image area and there's some space at the top. I found this solution. $box = imagettfbbox($size, 0, $fontfile, $txt . "Mg_|"); $height = ($box[1] - $box[7]); $box = imagettfbbox($size, 0, $fontfile, $txt); $width = ($box[2] - $box[0]); $box1 = imagettfbbox($size, 0, $fontfile, "o"); $box2 = imagettfbbox($size, 0, $fontfile, "g"); $baseline = ($box2[1] - $box2[7]) - ($box1[1] - $box1[7]); $im = imagecreate($width, $height); imagettftext ($img, $size, 0, 0, $height - $baseline, $rgbfore, $fontfile, $txt);
