 I have a small problem about loading fonts with imageloadfont()

 I have copyed fonts with the extension .fon or .ttf to the same directory
 as my script, and i give them the font as an argument:

 $font = imageloadfont('arial.ttf');

 But i just keep getting the message:
 Warning: imageloadfont(): Error reading font in c:\program files\apache
 group\apache\htdocs\gd_test.php on line 35

 Does anyone know how to properly load fonts into gd, without getting this
 error message?

Try using the full, absolute path to the font.

I have already tried that:

imageloadfont(C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/arial.ttf);

i also tried:

imageloadfont(C:\\WINDOWS\\Fonts\\arial.ttf);

I ALSO tried this:

imageloadfont($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/gd_test.php');

and that didn't work either

So I'm unfortunately still stuck.

If you're using TTF fonts then you should be using imagettftext().
