I'm having issues with text lining up where it should. Every tutorial I can find tells me to use imagettfbox to find the dimensions of the text. I do this, but the text doesn't fit within those dimensions. See the example below: <?php // Create image and colours $im = imagecreatetruecolor(200, 100); $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255); $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0); $red = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 0, 0); //Set the background to be white imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 200, 100, $white); //font file $font = "ARIAL.TTF"; //set sample text and fontsize $text="102"; $size = 25; //calculate height and width of text1 $bbox = imagettfbbox($size, 0, $font, $text); $width = $bbox[2] - $bbox[0]; $height = $bbox[5] - $bbox[3]; //draw rectangle that should house the text imagefilledrectangle($im, 50, 40, 50+$width, 40+$height, $red); //draw text at same startpoint as rectangle imagettftext($im, $size, 0, 50, 40, $black, $font, $text); // Output to browser header('Content-type: image/png'); imagepng($im); imagedestroy($im); ?> This should output a red rectangle, containing the text. It doesn't - the text is slightly to the right of where it should be. This only happens with some strings - ones that contain a "1" tend not to work, while some others work perfectly. Here is the output for 2 strings: The top (red) one works as it should, the string is entirely within the bounding box, but the bottom (green) one doesn't - it's offset to the right. Does anyone know what is happening, and what I need to do to make the text fit correctly within the bounding box? I've tested this with multiple fonts, including monospace fonts - the same thing always happens.
