Problems with imagettftext and GD2

PHP 4.3.11 on Ubuntu Linux with GD2

I have compiled and installed PHP with these arguments:
'./configure' '--with-apxs=/www/bin/apxs' '--with-zlib' '--enable-exif'
'--with-gd' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-mm' '--with-jpeg'
'--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png' '--with-ttf'

And when I run any script created by myself or downloaded I get no
errors with imagettftext, but the text is missing on the images. No
warnings or notices are given, making debugging a bit harder.

I have searched google all morning for an answer, but without luck.

Does anyone have a clue for a solution to this?

A thought.

I have uploaded a font from my Win XP to the server. Are the Fonts used
in windows different from the ones used in Linux?

I'm attempting to use ImageTTFText to render text to an image, I can get it to work if I a) specify the full font path b) switch off anti-aliasing c) specify an OpenType font (e.g. arial.ttf) If I specify a TrueType font (e.g. futura.ttf) I get an error message "Warning: imagettftext(): Could not find/open font in c:\filepath"

Hi, since I've upgraded to php 4.3.4 (before I used 4.1.2) I have a problem with imagettftext(): when executing the line: imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 25, $white, "$script_dir/verdana.ttf", "Test en cours... Oméga: Ω");

From: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php "color is the color index. Using the negative of a color index has the effect of turning off antialiasing." I'm using a bundled version of GD: 2.0.23 compatible. When using the function imagettftext() with a negative color to get a aliased text as stated in the docs the text gets grainy. Not antialised, and not aliased. Something in between (ugly!). I've tried several fonts....

Using PHP-4.3.11 with GD extension, bundled GD library, and freetype-2.1.9 (with X.org 6.8.1). I can't get the TrueType Font (TTF) bounding box to come out right. Whether using imagettftext() or imagettfbbox(), for some angles of text (like 45 degrees), the box comes back in the wrong place. Sample code below; just change the $font assignment to point to a TTF font file. You should see a text string with a box around it, but my box isn't...

Im using imagettftext to write some text on my image. I'm on Win XP and using the plain arial.ttf font that I copied from win dir my typical line would be imagettftext($im, 33, 0, 20, 500, $black, 'arial.ttf', $text); everything is perfect except the tab "\t" sign if I set $text = "something\tsomething" the tab gets displayed but it also displays some rectangle like "this char is in wrong encoding" or something like that. Basically I...

My url is www.aptitudehack.com Hi i cant get an image to display on another server though it does on mine. Here is the code for the page. The problem i think is the imagettftext function particularly the reference to my font file "Verdana". If i use a different function to write text it does so no bother but unfortunately i need this function to work. Here is the error it outputs followed by the code for the page in question:

hi everyone, i created a script that outputs an image (transparent with text) based on parameters passed by $_GET. everything in my application works with 'pixels' and since GD2 this function (imagettftext) uses 'points' as the text size unit. i've searched everywhere for a solution to convert from pixels to points (or the other way around) but with no luck... each place says something different and i can't find a good answer.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
