Problems with GD Library (TTF Font Rendering)

[flyandi]

Hello all,

I have a major problem and try to figure out if I need to change my hosting provider or not.

 

I am creating dynamic images using the GD library and the ImageTTFText() function. My development machine renders the text very smooth, but when I run the PHP script on my web server, the TTF fonts are hard to read.

 

My Dev Machine is a Windows PC while my web server is a basic account at 1and1 Linux.

 

The Dev Machine uses GD 2.0.34 while the Web server only has 2.0.28 installed.  I saw that 2.0.34 is a major rework, so I suspect that the problem with TTF rendering is the version difference. Can somebody confirm this?

 

Also I am using OpenFont TTF's.

 

Thanks,

 

Andy
