As you haven't stated what error you're getting my guess is that most likely it's because you don't have the font file installed on your "non-windows" machines. Another thing is that imagettftext() seems to be very finicky and needs the full path to the font file. -- 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 ------------------------------------------ /* One enemy soldier is never enough, but two is entirely too many -- Murphy's Military Laws n68 */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
