Hi there!

The following script should produce a BLACK text over a red rectangle on a white background. It almost does that, except that the color of the text is GRAY.


header ("Content-type: image/png");
$im = ImageCreate (250, 40);
$background_color = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
$rect_color = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 0, 0);
$text_color = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
ImageFill($im, 0, 0, $background_color);
ImageFilledRectangle($im, 60, 5, 100, 35, $rect_color);
ImageTTFText ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $text_color, "/cda/ttf/ARIAL.TTF", "Testing... ");
ImagePng ($im); 


If I turned off the antialiasing with

ImageTTFText ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, 1*$text_color, "/cda/ttf/ARIAL.TTF", "Testing... ");

then the text color is black again (negative color index).

I do not know if it is a problem with GD or Freetype or PHP or the Debian package. A script like this worked for me fine before, but it does not right now.

Debian packages installed:
PHP-4.0.3pl1-2
libgd1-1.8.3-4
freetype2-1.3.1-1

Regards,
Tamas

You compiled with the 
--enable-freetype-4bit-antialias-hack configure option, 
right? That option is bogus, and has been removed 
from 4.0.4. You should be able to use PHP with 
freetype2 anyway, but only with 2-bit (4-shade) 
antialiasing.

i removed the "--enable-freetype-4bit-antialias-hack" option from the build-script in Debian 2.2's php4-package.

Black Text with ImageTTFText gets gray when used with
antialiasing.

i discovered that Debian's "freetype2"-package is really freetype1. the freetype2 (called freetype6) is only available with the upcoming Debian 3.0.

i'll try to downport freetype 2 to Debian 2.2
