Create image from text/html

Is there a way to create jpeg, gif image from text/html? What library to use?

Thanks

Sorry?

Are you trying to create an image?
Look for the gd functions in PHP.

Yes. How to generate font for GD library?

[rowanparker]

You want to generate a font.
Do you mean, just get a font you can use for GD functions?
Or do you actually want to create a font?

I need to generate font.

Tried:

I'm trying to generate Verdana 14

Thanks

1. You need to have GD compiled
2. You need the Freetype library
   -> For steps 1 and 2, see http://ca3.php.net/image
3. You need the Verdana font file
4. You must use the imagettftext() function.
   -> See http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php

I installed GD and it works.

I need to generate exact font.

$font = 'arial.ttf';

How to generate 'ttf' or 'gdf' file?
