I was recently working on a little program that would overlay text on top of a JPEG image, using imagettftext(). It works fine on my laptop, but when I uploaded it to my server, it quit working. I've found out that the Freetype library isn't installed on the server we are currently using. Doese anyone know of a why I can get around this, maybe with a different function ? The tech support people for this server send me back this message :
"These are just "supported" font libraries, unfortunately they are
not installed by default. You can access more information regarding them, and their setup at the following URL:
http://us3.php.net/gd
If you can find a standalond version of the library in a .pm format
perhaps you may be able to run it from your site even if it isn't
installed on the server. However, you would need to locate this file and install it. This is not something that we can assist you with.
We have added a request for the FreeType Libraries to our request tracker for contemplation during future updates of the version of PHP we are currently running."
Does anyone know how to do this or know if it's even possible ?
Any help anyone could provide would be great !!
Thanks
