why can't invoke the font?

[runeveryday]

the system is window xp.now,i made the following test.

 

test code:

 

putenv('GDFONTPATH=C:\WINDOWS\Fonts');
$fontname='arial';
$char="test";
$size=20;
$bbox=imagettfbbox($size,0,$fontname,$char);

it show invalidate font filename....,

 

but  the arial is actually in C:\WINDOWS\Fonts

If you search the Internet for information on that error, you will find that on Windows you cannot use GDFONTPATH because the GD functions that read GDFONTPATH cannot deal with Windows drive and path separators.

 

Just list the full path and filename in your $font variable -

 

$font = 'C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\arial.ttf';
