I believe the User Contributed Notes in the on-line manual include some references to additional arguments in the various font/text drawing functions that will do things of this nature. I don't promise that underlining is there, or that it will work. You're going to have to end up reading the documentation not only of PHP, but also of the underlying TrueType library. NOTE: It may be that TrueType won't do it, but FreeType or PostScript will, and that switching is an option for you. Or not. NOTE: If you are happy with the "look" and code readability you have, I seriously doubt that imageline is that much slower than some 'underline' feature of the TrueType library, unless you are calling imageline a *LOT* of times... So you may want to focus your efforts elsewhere unless you're just bored or the code is unreadable. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
