Why not just load up a TTF / Postscript / with imagepsloadfont (etc) as required and use that instead? You can't make PHP search for it in your system font directory, but there's no reason why you can't tell PHP to load it from there (depending on your user permissions, etc). Not that I'd recommend it on a production server, but on my test box the following works just fine: imagettftext($i, 24, 0, 0, 0, $black, "C:/winxp/fonts/arial.ttf", "blah"); Best regards, Richard Davey -- http://www.launchcode.co.uk - PHP Development Services "I am not young enough to know everything." - Oscar Wilde -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
