[PHP] How do I upgrade GD?
Hi, how do I upgrade GD? PHP still comes bundled with the three year old version 2.0.34, even though there have been lots of bugfixes in 2.0.35 and 2.0.36 (most importantly, 2.0.36 now actually supports unicode text, rather than any unicode text as long as it's only UCS-2, which means any unicode using blocks introduced after 3.1 don't work). Related to that, how would one update both GD and FreeType2? - Mike Pomax Kamermans nihongoresources.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Using FreeType2 without having to suffer GD
Hi, is there a FreeType extension that doesn't rely on not-calling-freetype-in-the-slightest through GD? GD is lacking lots of function wrappers for things that are part of the standard FreeType2 API, like the super basic get char index function, which are essential for any kind of intelligent text rendering, Is there a way to access FreeType directly, without going through GD? Or is this going to end up being one of those there's no way to do this, call an exec() to something in python or perl instead things? - Mike Kamermans -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
