[SOLVED] true type display problem

[Asperon]

here is my code, the image shows but the text won't dispaly, the font path is right

 

<?php
putenv('GDFONTPATH=C:\WINDOWS\Fonts');
$fontsize = 33;
$text = 'Hello World';
$font = 'arial';
$height = 200;
$width = 400;
$im = ImagecreateTrueColor($width, $height);
$white = ImageColorAllocate($im,255,255,255);
$blue = ImageColorAllocate($im,0,0,64);

ImageFill($im,0,0,$blue);
ImageLine($im,20,150,200,150,$white);
ImageTTFText($im,$fontsize,0,50,135,$white,$font,$text);

Header('Content-type: image/Png');
ImagePng($im);

ImageDestroy($im);
?>

Try capitalizing "arial", or maybe try a new font "Times New Roman". See if that has the same problem.

try escaping the backslashes

 

putenv('GDFONTPATH=C:\\WINDOWS\\Fonts');

I tried it with Arial, Times New Roman, Garamond and I added .ttf to all of them...still nothing

[Asperon]

would it be because the code above is in an image.php file and I have it call on my index.php file as an <img src="image.php></img>

 

escaping the backslashes didn't work either

instead of

 

putenv('GDFONTPATH=C:\WINDOWS\Fonts');

$font = 'arial';

 

try

$font = 'c:/windows/fonts/arial.ttf';

that worked thank you
