[2010-06-22 20:36:28] opendevel at weberhofer dot at I have included the patch #51263 (SVN 293268) which solved the problem on my openSUSE/PHP 5.2.13 version. [2010-04-19 16:41:56] paj...@php.net 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. [2010-04-19 16:36:22] leottan at imsweb dot com 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.

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) http://yfrog.com/i3goodlp Actual result: -- Messy text new PHP http://yfrog.com/i3badej -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51571&edit=1
