GD2 using 'point' system for fonts


cs.punk

Recommended Posts

imagettftext is used to write text to an image using TrueType fonts.

 

Size being one of the parameters:

The font size. Depending on your version of GD, this should be specified as the pixel size (GD1) or point size (GD2).

 

An inch representing 72 points.

 

However how is the point size calculated?

Is it based on the servers/clients screen resolution?

You'll have to go by look and feel. The font pretty much decides how big 72pt will be.

 

72pt in FontA could be much different than 72pt in FontB.

 

And this all means even less when displayed on a monitor, where pixels per inch can vary widely.
