Imagestring() question

[doubledown]

Hey i have a script that creates an image.. and everything is working properly except that when i put an ImageString() with french text, the character è isnt showing up properly its showing up as e with a ^ on top of it..

^
c

like that basically, hopefully that makes sense, is there anyway to fix this?

this accent one shows up properly é

but the other doesnt..

my ImageString call is

ImageString($im,3, 90, ($adjPosition+1), $ItemNames[$z], $black);

Thanks in advance
