ttmt Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Font size GD Library Hi All I'm trying to create a font tester - http://www.ttmt.org.uk/fonts/index.php (this demo doesn't use the font I'm using.). I'm using the GD library to create images of the text. I'm not happy with the quality of the fonts at small sizes. I've tried everything to fix it but nothing is working. One suggestion I had was to create the fonts larger then reduce the size of the image. Can anyone offer any advise how I might do this? <?php header('Content-Type: image/png'); $im = imagecreatetruecolor(1000, 200); $gray = imagecolorallocate($im, 240, 240, 240); $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0); imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 1000, 199, $gray); $text = $_GET['text']; $textSize = $_GET['size']; $font = $_GET['font']; imagefttext($im, $textSize, 0, 15, 160, $black, $font, $text); imagepng($im); imagedestroy($im); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>untitled</title> <style type="text/css"> *{margin:0;padding:0;} #wrap{margin:20px 0 0 20px;} h1{margin:0px 0 20px 0;clear:both;} h2{font-size:1.1em;margin:15px 0 5px 0;} #top{padding:0 0 20px 0;} form{margin:0 0 20px 0;} </style> </head> <body> <div id="wrap"> <form action="index.php" method="post"> <!--<input type="text" name="text" value="<?php echo $_POST['text'];?>" />--> <select name="text" > <option value="<?php echo $_POST['text'];?>">Text</option> <option value="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ">ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</option> <option value="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz</option> <option value="0123456789">0123456789</option> </select> <select name="size"> <option value="<?php echo $_POST['size'];?>">Size</option> <option value="10">10</option> <option value="12">12</option> <option value="14">14</option> <option value="18">18</option> <option value="24">24</option> <option value="30">30</option> <option value="38">38</option> <option value="42">42</option> <option value="50">50</option> <option value="60">60</option> <option value="80">80</option> <option value="100">100</option> </select> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Set →" /> </form> <div id="top"> <?php $theFont="corbelb.ttf"; if(!empty($_POST['submit'])){ $myText = $_POST['text']; $mySize = $_POST['size']; echo '<img src="imageftt.php?text='.$myText.'&size='.$mySize.'&font='.$theFont.'">'; }else{ $myText = "Handgloves"; $mySize = 24; echo '<img src="imageftt.php?text='.$myText.'&size='.$mySize.'&font='.$theFont.'">'; } ?> </div> </div> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/250392-font-size-gd-library/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
