Re: ImageTTFText leaves Black in letters

Thanks for the response. Here's the relevant bit:
  $fontcolour = imagecolorallocatefromhex($i,$tcolor);
  $font2colour = imagecolorallocatefromhex($i, $t2color);
  $bg = imagecolorallocatefromhex($i,$bcolor);

  if($bcolor == '#000000') $bg = imagecolorallocate($i, 0, 0, 0);
  if($tcolor == '#000000') $fontcolour = imagecolorallocate($i, 1, 0, 0);
  if($t2color== '#000000') $font2colour = imagecolorallocate($i, 1, 0, 0);

if($_GET['fontFileName'] == "") {$fontfile = "arial.ttf";} else {$fontfile =
$_GET['fontFileName'];}
//echo "fonts/$fontfile";
$box = imagettfbbox(40, 0, "fonts/".$fontfile, $_GET['text']);
$ax = ceil((500 - $box[2]) / 2);
$ay = ceil((170 - $box[3]) / 2);
$box2 = imagettfbbox(20, 0, "fonts/arial.ttf", $_GET['text2']);
$bx = ceil((500 - $box2[2]) / 2);
$by = ceil((170 - $box2[3]) / 2) + 50;
//image, size, angle, x, y, color, font, text
imagettftext($i, 40, 0, $ax, $ay, $fontcolour, "fonts/".$fontfile,
$_GET['text']);
imagettftext($i, 20, 0, $bx, $by, $font2colour, "fonts/arial.ttf",
$_GET['text2']);
imagefill($i, 0, 0, $bg);
imagepng($i);

Thanks,
Stephen
