"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.
What could be wrong?

This is my code. As you can see there is nothing special about it:
<?
header("Content-type: " . image_type_to_m ime_type (IMAGETYPE_PNG) );
$im = imagecreate(400 , 30);
$white = imagecoloralloc ate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$black = imagecoloralloc ate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagettftext($i m, 10, 0, 10, 20, -$black, "verdanab.t tf", "Testing...
Omega");
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($i m);
?>
This is the output of the script: http://www.freewebs.com/leifwessman/test.png
As you can see, the text is grainy.

It looks aliased to me... I think it just looks grainy because it's aliased and
tiny. I think if you make it bigger, the aliasing will become apparent.

I've tried making it bigger. I've tried different fonts. Same result.
It shouldn't look that way... Something is wrong.

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"

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.
