I have included the patch #51263 (SVN 293268) which solved the problem
on my openSUSE/PHP 5.2.13 version.

You can install it locally very easily as well or you don't even have to
install PHP but simply compile it with GD support and test your script
using the freshly built PHP.

Thank you for such a quick response!!



Unfortunately, I've been unable to convince our network staff to try a
beta version of PHP out on our dev servers.  Would you like some
snippets of code to try on yours?  I feel bad asking you to help me but
then not being able to help you.

Description:

Our dev server was recently upgraded to PHP v5.2.13. With that upgrade
we have found that our png images are having kerning/tracking/spacing
problems. We've tried numerous fonts and haven't found a good solution
yet. imagettftextwithtracking -
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettfbbox.php#51373 - is
helping some but still isn't as nice as the old version of PHP was.



We are creating images using the GD library and writing text to the
images using font files and the imagettftext() or imagefttext()
functions.



I'm including examples of the new and old tahoma bold. Other fonts (bold
and non-bold) have the same problem. Some letters and numbers seem like
they're off-center or something like that.



Thanks!!



Test script:
---
ImageTTFText($imFinalImage,13,0,$x,$y,
$black,/fonts/tahomabd.ttf,$titleText);



//I stripped that down some (taking out vars so you had the basic info)


//but that's the format along with our font size  font.





Expected result:

The usual text



old PHP v5.2.11 (the words are slightly different because this is our
dev server and the other one is the live server)

Actual result:
--
Messy text

new PHP
