When I did a 300-dpi PDF thingie, I defined a variable $resolution which was 304.8, and multiplied it by the inches I wanted to get 300 dpi out... I don't know *how* I got the 304.8 number... > I'm not sure what the imagettftext() function returns, are those > values > measured in pixels ?

You'd want to make it 300/72 times as large as you would think? Only I obviously didn't do that, so I dunno... > http://www.printingforless.com/resolution.html > > That's the code: > > *** > > // Create dummy image. > $rsc_image = imagecreate( 1, 1 ); > > // Set image. > $arr_ftx = imagettftext( $rsc_image, $int_font_size, 0, 0, 0, -1, > "./fonts/{$str_font_file}", $str_variable_value ); > // Destroy dummy image. > imagedestroy( $rsc_image ); > > // Set structure of widths. > // TODO: Magik numbers. > $arr_variable_pixels[$str_variable_index] = ( ( $arr_ftx[2] * 24 ) / > 100 ); I think you've got the percentage backwards here, as it's 24% to go from 300 to 72... You want to force a 72 DPI thing to end up being scalable down by 24% to end up at 300. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
