Hi
I had similar problems when just specifying the font file in the same
directory eg ./arial.ttf but got it to work okay when i used the full path
eg :
$fontfile = "/apache/htdocs/arial.ttf";
ImageTTFText($im, 20, 0, 3, 3, $text_colour, $fontfile, "My text");
Regards
Girish

Subject: [PHP] Unable to get ImageTTFText output
Hi there,
I am trying to use the ImageTTFText function to output some text onto an
existing image. Problem being though that the text does not get
outputted. I have placed the ttf file 'arial.ttf' within the same
directory as my script. Here is a snippet of my code:
Header("Content-Type: image/png");
$im = ImageCreateFromPNG("original_image.png");
$text_colour = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
ImageTTFText($im, 20, 0, 3, 3, $text_colour, "/arial.ttf", "My
text");
ImagePNG($im);
All this outputs is my original PNG image (with no text). I have used
the following line instead of ImageTTFText and all works well.
ImageString($im, 4, 3, 3, "My text", $text_colour);
Using phpinfo() I have checked the GD section and the following is
outputted:
GD Support - enabled
GD Version - 2.0 or higher
FreeType Support - enabled
FreeType Linkage - with freetype
JPG Support - enabled
PNG Support - enabled
WBMP Support - enabled
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this does not work? Has
anyone else used the ImageTTFText function successfully?
Neil
