I recently set up my blog to do this using a font a had of my own printing for the entry headers.
An example and explanation is here http://ffaat.pointclark.net/blog/archiv ... mages.html
may be depending on font used, i had to convert my font from otf to ttf because of french caracters were not correctly printed (è,à,é...).RobA wrote:Frandy -
the GD library uses freetype, and I see that freetype 2 supports Open Type font glyphs http://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/ and php/GD can use freetype 2 http://ca.php.net/gd....
so it all depends on the version on your system...
I tried it using a ttf file from my W2K system that had a ttf extension but claimed to be an Open Type font and it worked.
