I have a font product to build a site for, and I was delighted to see that this image.cfc does allow putting text on an image with a true type font Our problem was how to give people a sample of the font, without letting them get their hands on the font itself. This offers a way to do it on the fly. We'll have a graphic of some kind, and overlay the user-supplied text using the font in question, so they can see what it looks like, without having it so it's easy to snag, which would be the case if we used something like PDF or Flashpaper to produce it.
And image.cfc is so easy-as-pie to use for someone practiced at using CFCs. Well done, RIck. When I recover my cost on the font product and sell my second hundred grand's worth of it, i'll drop you a fat cheque.
