Imagettftext() strange behaviour

guytoon

Hi,

I'm currently using PHP 4.3.3 on a Red Hat 7 modified (i like huge companies ...) with apache 1.3.27, GD 2.0.15 and freetype.

Everything was OK until I tried Imagettftext and specifiing an angle (it works with default (0) value).

Actually the angle is true but it also submit an angle to the letters so it looks like italic ! When you tries with 90 degrees angle, the line vertical but the letters are capside (90 + 90 = 180!)

To be sure not to have bugs in my scripts I tried in the same condition with JPgraph and the result is the same.

The matter is that I can't modified anything on the server because I don't have root's rights. With another version with easyphp, it works fine.

Does anybody have seen this behaviour ?
What can be the source of the problem ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards.

I'm quite desappointed not to have answer.

In order to understand my problem I give you an example of the matter : code below

<?php

header("Content-type: image/png");
$im = imagecreate(200,200);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0,0,0);
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255,255,255);
$font="arial.ttf";
imagettftext($im, 18, 45, 100, 100, $white, $font,"Test");
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

Thanks for your help.
