Summary: imageTTFText: misalignment of characters which extend
beyond their left margin
Status: Open
Type: Bug
Package: GD related
Operating System: Linux & Windows XP
PHP Version: 5.2.13
New Comment:
I had a look at those two bugs before writing up my report. In fact,
their seem to be quite a number of similar bugs concerning imageTTFText.
But the thing is that the bug I'm describing was not present in PHP
5.2.11. So, even though all of these bugs are probably related in some
way or other I decided they can't actually be one and the same.

Looks like a duplicate of bug #50194 and bug #50958

Sorry, I forgot to mention I'm talking about PHP's imageTTFText
function.
And also, while previewing and editing my report the part of my last
paragraph after the apostrophe got lost. So here it is again:
My little test script spells out the word "Information" in "Pirouette
Text". In this font the letter "f" (among others) is made up of a large
S-like curve extending well into its neighboring letters' "territories".
PHP 5.2.11 places the "f" correctly. PHP 5.2.13, on the other hand,
seems to use the character's leftmost extremum for positioning it next
to the previous character which is, of course, incorrect. There are a
few more minor differences between the two PHP version's results----all
in favor of 5.2.11.

Description:
------------
The following bug is present in PHP 5.2.13 and was not present in PHP
5.2.11. (It was probably introduced while attempting to solve Bug
#49600.) My test bed is Windows XP/Apache 2.0, production site runs on
Linux/Apache 1.3, both are showing the same symptom.
We are using the commercial font "Pirouette Text" by Linotype which I
obviously cannot include in this report. What sets this font apart from
most other fonts is the fact that some characters extend horizontally
beyond their bounding boxes in terms of character placement.
My little test script spells out the word "Information" in "Pirouette
Text". In this font the letter "f" (among others) is made up of a large
S-like curve extending well into its neighboring letters
Test script:
---------------
$text = "Information";
$font = "pirouette.otf";
$size = 41;
$dim = imagettfbbox($size, 0, $font, $text);
$off_y = -$dim[7];
$off_x = -$dim[0];
$img_h = $dim[1]+$off_y+1;
$img_w = $dim[2]+$off_x+2;
unset($dim);
$img = imagecreatetruecolor($img_w, $img_h);
imagefilledrectangle($img, 0, 0, $img_w-1, $img_h-1, 0xFFFFFF);
imagettftext($img, $size, 0, $off_x, $off_y, 0x000000, $font, $text);
header("Content-Type: image/gif");
imagetruecolortopalette($img, false, 32);
imagegif($img);
imagedestroy($img);
Expected result:
----------------
This is what it should look like (rendered by PHP 5.2.11):

Actual result:
--------------
And this is how PHP 5.2.13 messes it up:
