Hi,

there is a user contributed note in the manual.

Read the note submitted by [e-mail]

You might need to modify php.ini to change the exif characterset
to support the hebrew language (image reference).
Look at "exif.encode_unicode". But depending on where the server is located that characterset might be the default already.

Its so easy. Follow these step. First upload a arabic or hebrew font in the directory when my example script resides. I suppos ur font name is "arabic.ttf"

Then to draw a string in arabic using GD2, the script is

NB. Must place the script and font in same folde.

$height = 100;
$width = 200;

$word = "your Arabic/ Hebrew Text";
$fontname = "arabic.ttf";

$im = imagecreate($width,$height); //Create The canvas

$background_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 233, 14, 91);
$black = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);

//Now Draw It
imagettftext ($im, 13, 0, 2, 20, $black, $fontname, $word);

-Thanks

I try it before but it's not working

Donno whats the prob. This should work. Cause It works pretty fine for any unicode font and for my language which is most cryptic one. My language is Bangla.

Thnx
