Clearly this is a multithreading kind of issue which still happens, it
apparently is really difficult to use mutexes or simply write re-entrant
code. Nevertheless for people getting this, just use, as a very dirty
hack:
$size = ImageTTFBbox($fontsize, 0, $fontfile, $txt);
$try = 1;
while ($size[2] < 0 && $try < 10) $size = ImageTTFBbox($fontsize, 0,
$fontfile, $txt);
et voila, $size should mostly be okay ;)

I have had the same problems with PHP 5.0.2.
I have found fiddling with the ./configure parameters for ttf rendering
when compiling PHP will help resolve some of the problems. However I
still find that text looks distorted under Linux when compared to Mac

as you will notice if you look at the example URL, it works fine. I
compiled with the system library of GD, instead of the internal GD
library. It now works fine.

ok I am getting these strange values, on php4.3.2 with apache 1.3.28.
on redhat 7.2, with imagettfbbox
here is some example dump:
width -1073758320 : height -5379645430array(8) {
[0]=>
int(60)
[1]=>
int(-1073758256)
[2]=>
int(-1073758264)
[3]=>
int(1077688217)
[4]=>
int(48)
[5]=>
int(0)
[6]=>
int(11288)
[7]=>
int(1078099916)
}
here is a url that will reproduce:
http://test.earth.itomic.com/build_text_image.php?imgStr=PRODUCT%20SPOTLIGHT&fontSize=14&font=v5loxicar
the source is here:

If this has been fixed in CVS, is there a version that works? or is
there one that will be coming soon?
