gd + ce ttf fonts

[Yep \(yeap\)]

Is there a way to get Central European specific characters (croatian, to be
specific) out of ttf fonts (arial, tahoma, verdana etc) in pictures
generated with GD library? Right now I'm getting squares and blanks.

Thx

I wouldn't say it's PHP version related problem, sounds more like GD thing.

Anyway, the following systems all show the same (or better to say does not
show):

1. Debian 3.0, Apache 1.3.27, PHP 4.1.2, gd 1.7
2. WinXP, Apache/2.0.45, PHP/4.3.3RC1, gd 2.0.15

Are you using the proper encoding for the extended characters? I'm not
familiar with the Croatian language. What special characters does it
use? If they are located after the 255th position in the Truetype font,
you must use the UTF-8 sequence for them.
