Does anybody know off the top of their head why truetype font text would look greyed out? This is my code: <?php $im = @imagecreatefromgif("testimage.gif"); $myfont = "inc/arial.ttf"; $mycolor = imagecolorallocate($im,0,0,0); imagettftext($im, 8, 0, 580, 118, $mycolor, $myfont, "test string"); imagejpeg($im); imagedestroy($im); ?> The text looks greyed out and it's a bit distorted. Thanks, Brent
