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.

RE: [PHP] true type fonts again
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.
I do appreciate your help
Thanks
CJ

Re: [PHP] true type fonts
Many special fonts don't have all the characters besides letters and numbers.
