Free Type Fonts

[Anon]

Has anyone been able to successfully configure PHP 4.0.4 to include Free Type support?

I'm trying to and can't seem to get it to work.

I can draw pretty boxes with gd but I can't display fonts. I got the font libraries from http://freetype.sourceforge.net/old_index.html

I installed both FreeType1 and FreeType2. Then I re-./configured PHP to enable this support but it never shows up in my Configure Command on my phpinfo page.

I used the Configure Command below:

./configure --with-gd --with-mysql=/usr/loc
al/mysql --with-apxs=/var/lib/apache/sbin/apxs --enable-gd-imgstrttf --enable-f
reetype-4bit-antialias-hack --with-ttf

When I try, all I get is this error:

ImageTtfBBox: No TTF support in this PHP build

I tried different configure commands but have been unsuccessful.

This is puzzling, any ideas?

Try your configure again, but put this on the end to log the output:

./configure --with-optionsetc | tee php.log

Then read the log to see if php could configure true type fonts or not, and what error configure gives you.

Hi Scott, Thanks for your time.

I reran the configure command after I rm config.cache and captured the output. I put it here for you to see:

http://24.2.217.156/phpinstall.php

These lines look insteresting:

222 checking whether to enable truetype string function in gd... no

237 checking whether to include FreeType 1.x support... yes

So it's mixed up or something. What do you think?

Forget it. I got it to work.
