Problem with fonts...

I'm running Redhat 9. I have a program that is using the following code:

putenv('GDFONTPATH=/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1');
$font = 'arial';

ImageTTFText($im, $main_size, 0, $width-30, $y+($bar_height/2),
$percent_color, $font, $percent.'%');

I get the following message

Warning: Could not find/open font in /var/www/html/Examples/chapter19/show_poll.php on line 107

Any idea what is causing this????

Thanks!

Craig

I had the same problem with GD2. Solved it by using realpath() ...

$path = "amazonen.ttf";
$path = realpath($path);

ect..

imagettftext ($im, $fontsize, 0, $px, $py, $black,$path ,$text);

hope it works for you.

Other than that I have read of people having problems when the pathname was too long, but that didn't seem to be causing the bug with me.

I got my original code to work but thanks for the tip. I'll remember that if I have problems at a later date.

Regards,

Craig
