Hi,
I've been writing text onto images using imagettftext, having first loaded
an Arial TTF. The result can be seen at http://linuxbox.co.uk/57_off.png
After moving the code to another server, the text started coming out
differently: http://linuxbox.co.uk/65_off.png
Examing phpinfo() for each server, it seems the original server had:
FreeType Linkage with TTF library
,while the on the second server:
FreeType Linkage with freetype
I've tried using imagefttext rather than imagettftext, but the text is no
better.
I'm not in a position to recompile PHP on the second machine. Is there
anything else I can do to improve the text quality? It looks as if the
text in the second URL is still being rendered in Arial, only more poorly.
Thanks,
Pete
