I am trying to run a basic script that displays an existing jpeg image
and writes some text over it. Sounds simple, but I cannot seem to be
able to colour the font correctly. In the example below it should be
black but it comes out orange. In fact, even if I change the colour to
0, 0, 255 it's orange.
I've read in the PHP documentation (the user contributed notes) that
there are issues with jpeg font colouring. But I've not seen any
details. Can anyone shed light on this for me please?
The example code below is called as a function. The $image variable is
a path to the existing image file and the $ttf variable is a path to a
TrueType font. The $text variable contains a text string.
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$base_image = imagecreatefrom jpeg($image);
$font = $ttf;
$fontcolor = imagecoloralloc ate($base_image , 0, 0, 0);
imagettftext($b ase_image, 18, 0, 10, 100, $fontcolor, $font, $text);
imagejpeg($base _image); imagedestroy($b ase_image);
Cheers,

In case anyone with similar problems reads this thread I should point
out that I now believe the failure of the above script to be due to a
bug in an earlier-than-current version of PHP/GD. I am using PHP 4.4,
GD 2.0.26.
It seems that I'm not the only one to get a yellow/orange font (or
nothing, depending on what you set the font colour to) when using
imagettftext and imagecreatefrom jpeg (or imagecreatetrue color). I've
done a work-around involving merging images, but it's not perfect. I
guess the real answer is to upgrade.

Simple question... which is better to use for defining font sizes and why?
px and em seem to be the leading candidates. I know what the general answer

Hi All,
I'm using the System.Drawing.Image name space to convert images from

image.Save( exportFilePath, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg );
The code almost always seems to work, but some times I receive the

I want to take the letter "A" from this font, render it as an image,

How can I do that?

Hi all! I was hoping someone could help me out. What I would like to
do is use a font that is not installed on the server, but does reside
in my local web. Does that make sense? I would like to take the
responsibility off the server administrator and put it back on the
developers. I realize I may be asking for the impossible, but any
ideas are appreciated.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
