Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_image_replace, version 2
I’ve had some problems with my PFB typefaces but got thoose international characters sorted out finally. It was the typeface that lacked encoding in the .pfb file.
Plugins: ob1_advanced_search 1.032b, ob1_search_score 1.0, ob1_pagination 2.5, ob1_title 4.1, ob1_modified 2.1

Is there a way to wrap the text before imaging ? To give a pixels or letters width, and the text word-wrap before the limit ?

Feature request: Kerning.
Is it possible through the PHP functions you use?

No, unfortunately. More recent versions of GD have incorporated some basic options for line spacing with FT, but there’s no sign of kerning or character spacing options. Even if they were added to GD, I wouldn’t count on them working correctly – there have been some long standing bugs with character spacing and offsets in rotated text that seem to indicate the GD developers have precious few clues about typography.
(the rotation thing is why 0.4 isn’t yet released, incidentally)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_image_replace, version 2
all i get is a blank screen, or, with info=1, a listing that gd and freetype are not supported. my host assures me that gd is, and phpinfo() lists it. any ideas?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_image_replace, version 2
If info=1 says that GD and freetype aren’t supported, that means that the “imagettfbbox” and “imagefttext” functions are not callable. I have no idea why that would be the case if they’re installed.
Does this raise any errors?
<code>
<?php
ERROR_REPORTING(E_ALL);
ini_set(“display errors”, “1”);
$i = imagecreate(1,1);
echo imagesx($i) . “, “ . imagesy($i);
?>
</code>

Is your PHP version prior to 4.0.6 by any chance?

This sounds exactly what mine did until we rebuilt and upgraded apache. Turns out that the freetype wasn’t enabled after all.
GD had been the whole time, but it didn’t show in the info of this plugin until the freetype was enabled.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] zem_image_replace, version 2
well, i’m using a shared host, so getting them to rebuild and upgrade apache isn’t very likely.
