Jessica Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 What exactly are you trying to do? Did you look at the comments on the imagettfbbox page? There are a ton of helpful functions posted.

RoninStretch Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 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.

Barand Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67278-solved-finding-out-size-of-ttf-font-in-pixels/#findComment-337532 Share on other sites More sharing options...
