ID: 12956 Updated by: wez Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux PHP Version: 4.0CVS-2001-08-25 New Comment: It's a GD bug; I know this because my patched GD works fine with TTF. I submitted the patch to the GD folks a while ago. --Wez. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-25 21:12:15] [EMAIL PROTECTED] How do you know? All I said was that this was known, but that I don't know what causes truecolour images to not support anti-aliasing. ie. whether the bug is in PHP or GD or a combination of both is yet to be determined. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-25 20:59:40] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not a PHP bug then.. --Jani ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-25 16:59:27] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes, this is known. Anti-aliasing of TTF fonts in GD2 only works with paletted images. No idea why. Try asking the GD folks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-25 13:47:49] [EMAIL PROTECTED] More on the problem. (This could be a libGD bug, but the libGD test works fine, but I'm not sure if its doing the same thing) This is from the ./configure to show that it is configured right (I have removed some lines to make it shorter): checking whether to include GD support... yes checking whether to enable truetype string function in gd... yes checking for freetype(2)... yes checking whether to include include FreeType 1.x support... no checking whether to include T1lib support... yes checking for T1_LoadFont in -lt1... yes checking for gdImageCreateFromPng in -lgd... yes checking for gdImageCreateFromJpeg in -lgd... yes checking for gdImageCreateTrueColor in -lgd... Yes So here is the script: <?php Header ("Content-type: image/jpeg"); $im = imagecreatetruecolor (400, 30); $black = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0); $white = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255); ImageTTFText ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $white, "/Fonts/arial.ttf", "Testing... Omega: Ω"); ImageJPEG ($im); ImageDestroy ($im); ?> I have also found out if I do not use truecolor, then the font is ok, but if I create from a jpeg or png, I get crap fonts. I guess its a truecolor problem. I dont know if it is in PHP or in GD. Maybe I'm posting this to the wrong place. Is anyone else using libGD2 and truecolor TTF graphics? Here is some samples that I made: http://rtfm.c0de.net/helpfiles/ttf-test.html Thank you for your help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-25 07:50:48] [EMAIL PROTECTED] First, create a short but complete example script and include it here so we can test it. Second, you should use the correct paths for the configure options: --with-freetype-dir=/usr And btw. This configure option is for freetype2. ( --with-ttf is for freetype 1.x ) Also note that GD2 is in BETA. This might instead being a bug in PHP, be a bug in GD2. --Jani ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
