disable anti aliasing (using gd lib)

[matlec]

Hi,

when I try to disable antialiasing by using a negative value, I get a very ugly pixelized result (tried with Arial, Verdana and a small font).

Do you know a better way of disabling anti aliasing?

I tried following code:

<?php
Header ("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$im = imagecreate (400, 30);
$white = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
$black = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
ImageTTFText ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, -$black, "/usr/local/apache/htdocs/fonts/arial.ttf",
"Teste... Omega: &#937;");
ImageJpeg ($im);
ImageDestroy ($im);
?>

Thanks in advance

Hey,

It appears not. If you or others compiled gd/jpeg/png with ttf anti-aliasing it cannot be disabled, unless you re-compile the libs and then recompile php.

Sorry,

Disregard that last post. You can do it like this, you had one small mistake:

<?php

header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$im = imagecreate(400, 30);
$black = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$white = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
imagettftext ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, -$white, "C:/WINNT/Fonts/Arial.ttf", "Testing...Omega: &#937;");
imagejpeg ($im);
imagedestroy ($im);

?>
