[SOLVED] Finding out size of TTF font in pixels.

Recommended Posts

I looked yeah but i'm quite new and the advanced coding techniques they use make most of it illegible.

 

What i'm trying to do is just center my text.

 

So

$imageX = 100; // pixels
$fontwidth = 5; // pixels per character
$textlength = 10; // 10 characters
$textlengthpx = $fontwidth * $textlength;

$topleft = ($imageX - $textlengthpx) / 2;

 

or somethin...

 

I just need to know how to get the pixel width of a ttf font.

 

But imagettfbbox want's a pixel width of the font. :s

 

No, it wants the point size (how big do want it?) that you are using with the font then returns the x,y coordinates of the corners of a rectangle that would contain the text
