Re: Trouble with GD - any suggestions? - SOLVED

Yep i solved it. As two nice people suggested - i upgraded php from 4.06 to 4.11 and then it just works. One might think that this should be documented somewhere - it would have saved me some couple of hours. A big thanX to all involved. -- Michel Laine Michel Laine wrote: > ok > Now i (obviously) are in unknown territoies... > > *** > > Using PHPDEV4 from http://www.firepages.com.au/dev4.htm on a > NT4.0 SP4. > The package contains PHP4.06 / Apache1.3.20 / ActivePerl5.6 / MySQL3.23 > Apache, php, mysql and perl works. > > phpinfo(INFO_MODULES); reports: > GD Support enabled > GD Version 2.0 or higher > FreeType Support enabled > FreeType Linkage with freetype > JPG Support enabled > PNG Support enabled > WBMP Support enabled > > I have even double checked php.ini > > *** > > GD works as i can drav stuff (rectangles, imagetext and so on) but *how* > or *why* can't i get GD to load .ttf files with imagettftext? > I get 'Could not find/open font in c:\phpdev\www\graph.htm' no matter > how i construct the path to my fontfile. > Tried different fontfiles and even downloaded some that comes with tut's > - with the same result. > My fontfile is currently in the same dir as the script itself - not even > that will work. > > Is there any known bug in GD 2.x related to the support of TTF files? > or is it just me that have tested 99 combinations on the > path-to-fontfile parameter, but forgotten about the 100'th? > -- > > Michel Laine
