Hi,
I'm experiencing very bad character spacing / anti-aliasing with a PHP
installation. I compared it to another installation where it works.
I'm using the following test code:
$ih = imagecreatetrue color(200,100);
$ch_white = ImageColorAlloc ate($ih, 255,255,255);
imagettftext($i h,8,0,10,21,$ch _white,'arialbd .ttf','REFERENZ ENXXX');
header('Content-Type: image/gif');
imagegif($ih);
The bad one with its phpinfo()-Output (in the real application it
looks really bad): http://kundenweb.creations.de/usenet/ttftext/bad.gif
GD Support: enabled
GD Version: 2.0 or higher
FreeType Support: enabled
FreeType Linkage: with freetype
FreeType Version: 2.2.1
T1Lib Support: enabled
GIF Read Support: enabled
GIF Create Support: enabled
JPG Support: enabled
PNG Support: enabled
WBMP Support: enabled
And the good one: http://kundenweb.creations.de/usenet/ttftext/good.gif
GD Support: enabled
GD Version: bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
FreeType Support: enabled
FreeType Linkage: with freetype
FreeType Version: 2.1.9
T1Lib Support: enabled
GIF Read Support: enabled
GIF Create Support: enabled
JPG Support: enabled
PNG Support: enabled
WBMP Support: enabled
XBM Support: enabled
Which version causes this difference? When was the change?

Just a shot - are you using the same arial font file on both? If not,
eliminate that as an issue and copy the one on the good to the bad
one.

Yes, of course, I am loading it in the test case.
Sorry, just found out that the bad image was broken. Now it's there,
so go and see for yourself. :)

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"

"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

Sample code below; just change the $font assignment to point to a TTF font

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
