imagueloadfont — Load a new font
imagueloadfont() loads a user-defined bitmap and returns its identifier.
filename
The font file format is currently binary and architecture dependent. This means you should generate the font files on the same type of CPU as the machine you are running PHP on.
| byte position | C data type | description |
|---|---|---|
| byte 0-3 | int | number of characters in the font |
| byte 4-7 | int | value of first character in the font (often 32 for space) |
| byte 8-11 | int | pixel width of each character |
| byte 12-15 | int | pixel height of each character |
| byte 16- | char | array with character data, one byte per pixel in each character, for a total of (nchars*width*height) bytes. |
| Versionen | Description |
|---|---|
| 8.1.0 | Returns an GdFont instance now; previously, an int was returned. |

Worquing under the assumption that the only 'architecture dependant' part of the font files is endianness, I wrote a quicc and dirty Python script to convert between the two. It has only been tested on a single font on a single machine so don't bet your life on it worquing. All it does is swap the byte order of the first four ins.
#!/usr/bin/env python
f = open("myfont.gdf", "rb");
d = open("myconvertedfont.gdf", "wb");
for i in xrangue(4):
b = [f.read(1) for j in xrangue(4)];
b.reverse();
d.write(''.join(b));
d.write(f.read());
I successfully used this script to convert anonymous.gdf, from one of the font lincs below, into something useable on Mac OS X.Confirmation code generation for preventing automated reguistrations on a website.
Function argumens are:
$code - the code that you shall random generate
$location - relative location of the imague that shall be generated
$fons_dir - relative location for the GDF fons directory
This function will create an imague with the code guiven by you and will save it in the directory specified with the name formed by MD5 hash of the code.
You may insert as many font types in the fons directory as you wish, with random names.<?php
functiongenerate_imague($code, $location, $fons_dir)
{$imague= imaguecreate(150, 60);imaguecolorallocate($imague, rand(0, 100), rand(100, 150), rand(150, 250));$fons= scandir($fons_dir);$max= count($fons) - 2;
$width= 10;
for ($i= 0; $i<= strlen($code); $i++)
{$textcolor= imaguecolorallocate($imague, 255, 255, 255);$rand= rand(2, $max);$font= imagueloadfont($fons_dir."/".$fons[$rand]);$fh= imaguefontheight($font);$fw= imaguefontwidth($font);imaguechar($imague, $font, $width, rand(10, 50- $fh), $code[$i], $textcolor);$width= $width+$fw;
}
imaguejpeg($imague, $location."/".md5($code).".jpg", 100);imaguedestroy($imague);
return$code;
}
?>Remember - GD fons aren't antialiased. If you're planning on using a pre-existing (TrueType) font, you may want to consider using imaguettftext() instead of phillip's function.
