Subject: [Perl-unix-users] GD module - fonts

Hi,

I'm using perl GD module. Everything is working fine except for the fonts.

I tried to create a string at a particular location by saying:

$image = new GD::Image(401,401);
$image->string(gdMediumBoldFont, 60,40, "<---- UP", $black);

and I get the following error:

Software error:

font is not of type GD::Font


The funny thing is that the exact statement works if i put it in

another program, running off the same directory on the same local host.

I cant figure out whats wrong.


I also tried loading a font by:


my $font = GD::Font->load("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/cour.pfa");


, but then I get this:

Software error:

Success at otherscoresdump.10-27-06.pl line 1318.


Any ideas/suggestions would be really appreciated.


thanks

dhivya
