ID: 33692 User updated by: a dot vent at procommerz dot de Reported By: a dot vent at procommerz dot de -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Debian Linux 3.0 "Woody" PHP Version: 4.4.0 New Comment:
Well, I've tried Freetype 2.1.10 now. The result was that imagettftext produce an unknown function error and didn't work at all... The freetype compile went through perfectly as the php compile did, too. Maybe there's another error (e.g., in my freetype configuration before compiling), but these days I haven't got time enough to discover. For the moment, I can live with creating text only on 8 bit images. Best regards, Andreas Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-18 02:39:52] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Why don't you try with Freetype 2? That might actually work.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-15 11:59:33] a dot vent at procommerz dot de Additional note: After further dealing with this issue I found that imagettftext works fine on 8 bit images (when using "imagecreate" instead of "imagecreatetruecolor"), but not on true color images. There is a workaround proposal published by "persa" (http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=30767) that is to create two images (one of them at 8 bit) and then merging them together after putting the text onto the 8 bit image. It actually seems to be a bug, doesn't it? Best regards, Andreas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-14 09:50:28] a dot vent at procommerz dot de Description: ------------ The ImageTTFText function produces no result, but also no error. I've tried several font files (Microsoft TT core fonts and also from other sources), several paths (the same dir as the PHP script, relative to DocRoot, absolute path a.s.o.). It looks like not calling imagettftext - the function silently does nothing... I have Debian "Woody" with Apache 1.3.29 / PHP 4.4.0. The GD lib is the bundled one (phpinfo says: "2.0.28 compatible"). The Freetype lib version is 1.4pre, as provided from Debian package manager. PHP configure options: './configure' '--with-apxs=/var/www/bin/apxs' '--with-mysql' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-shared' '--with-iconv' '--with-gd' '--with-curl' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-dom=/usr' '--with-zlib' '--enable-cli' '--with-ttf=/usr' Output snippet from phpinfo: GD Support enabled GD Version bundled (2.0.28 compatible) FreeType Support enabled FreeType Linkage with TTF library GIF Read Support enabled GIF Create Support enabled JPG Support enabled PNG Support enabled WBMP Support enabled XBM Support enabled Reproduce code: --------------- <?php header("Content-type: image/png"); $im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 30); $grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 102, 102, 102); $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255); $red = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 0, 0); imagefill($im, 0, 0, $grey); $fontfile = realpath("./Arial.ttf"); imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $white, $fontfile, "Hello World!"); imagepng($im); imagedestroy($im); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Displays an image with white-colored text "Hello World" in Arial font face on grey background. Actual result: -------------- Displays an grey-colored image without any text (empty grey box). No error messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33692&edit=1
