I included the error_reporting (E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1); and commented out the header information, and I got the cannot open/find font So I copied the font to the correct places where I thought the font should go, and tried the web page again. The image is displayed but no text, I will be looking through the web pages for a way to output the image to harddrive directly. would running php script.php > filename.gif be suitable, or is there another method.

If you had read and followed the advice given in response to your earlier posts I'm sure you would've solved your problem by now. Again: 1) Enable FULL error reporting by including these lines at the top of your code: error_reporting (E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1); 2) Output the image to file. Remember to comment out the header() for the time being. 3) And someone else suggested that you may have specified the name of your font file incorrectly. In my experience you *have* to specify a path to your font file. So if the font file was in the same directory as your script then use './name_of_font_file'. So if you had followed the above steps (at the least step 1) you would have seen the following error: PHP Warning: imagettftext(): Could not find/open font in ... and would have clued you into what the problem was. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* Alone, adj.: In bad company. -- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary" */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
