Dynamic Signature Olympus

[Smix_cz]

Yes it works, but in the signature doesn´t ...

This
imagestring($this_img, 1, 4, 49, utf8_normalize_nfc($config['site_desc']), $color);
and this
imagestring($this_img, 1, 4, 49, utf8_clean_string($config['site_desc']), $color);
... have same result ...

I am actually confused ... Because if I am thinking about that - right characters are properly added to phpBB (probably with that functions) but aren´t shown in right way in php scripts ... So I think that functions are good, but not useful for those functions like imagestring() ... So I´ll have a look in php documentation ...

And I probably found that ...

The built-in fonts used to be in latin-2 (iso8859-2) encoding. For some time, they are in latin-1 (iso8859-1) encoding. There is no way to change the encoding at all. If you need to use any other encoding, you have to use TrueType fonts.

... So I tried to check it if it´s true, so I make my own function ...

Code: Select all

function toiso($text){
  iconv('UTF-8', 'iso8859-2',$text);
  return $text;
}

but it´s true, php don´t like it ... "Detected an illegal character in input string"

So it´s necessary to use imagettftext and font which knows right characters ... So ...
I added and used imagettftext instead of imagestring ...

Code: Select all

$font = "framd.ttf";
imagettftext($this_img, 10, 0, 1, 50, $color, $font, $config['site_desc']);

... Result is visible in my signature

[Handyman]

so using a true type font worked for you?

[Smix_cz]

(I think ) Yea, there is no other way ... Than use true type fonts ... as I already wrote ...

Show phpinfo() and check out if you have GD Support enabled on your hosting ...

[Patricia]

No GD running

[Highway of Life]

You are running on WAMP?

Okay, I'm not a WAMP expert, so someone else should point patsi to the correct adjustment that needs to be made,
but AFAIK, WAMP supports GD (on) by default.

[Smix_cz]

GD must be always enabled manually (I think) ...

But I´m not sure about the sentence
"No GD running"
it means - No, GD is running or GD isn´t running :?: ...

if you are running on WAMP (I´m not using any WAMP pack - I installed it part by part) than you have to manually edit php.ini and delete ; on row

Code: Select all

;extension=php_gd2.dll   

so the result must be

Code: Select all

extension=php_gd2.dll

It is enabled on my version... Version 2.3 I think...

Thanks Guy's, but doesn't work on my forum. It's ok I will look to it in the future.

Thanks for your help.
