Hey guys,
I've installed Abyss webserver on my PC (running windows 98se) at home along with PHP and GD support. I've tested it and everything works fine *except* for true type font support.
Whenever I use ImageTTFText() I get an error saying that the font file cannot be found or opened. The font is in the same directory as the script so I'm assuming that using a relative path is ok, however I've also tried absolute paths as well with no luck.
I've put the code I'm using at the bottom of the email, but I doubt its the problem, becuase I've run the same script on a zeus powered webserver and it works fine.
Has anyone else come across this problem or know of a solution? I thought it might be permissions, but I don't think its possible to set permissions on windows 98
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Andy
