Brian W Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi, how would I go about finding out what True Type fonts are available on the shared server I am on. Need to know so I can create an array of usable fonts to use with the GD library. Also, how would I go about finding out the font width of a true type font? GD doesn't seem to provide a function for doing so outside of int imagefontwidth ( int $font ) Returns the pixel width of a character in font. which is not compatible with True Type it seems.

Brian W Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 okay, I saw that tool on the php.net but I'm always weary about downloading EXEs But, if you recomend it I'll give it a run. Then I can use imageloadfont() and the other functions that go with it, right?
