Issue Summary

I would like to use this module with accentuated letters. With lower case letters it works fine, but with the same letters in uppercase (ÉÁŰŐÚÖÜÓÍ) it doesn't. Is there a solution to this problem? I didn't find help so far...

Comments

#1

I found the exact problem: The $bheight variable and the $y variable in the imagettftext() function need to be bigger with 5 pixel... Otherwise the accent is cut off from the image.

Hi sgabe,

Increasing by 5 pixels may fix this case, but if you rotated the image or changed the font face or size it would not longer be the correct fix. I will have a play with this issue shortly and see that I can come up with a better fix for you.

Hi Deciphered,
You are absolutely right, I think this may be a solution only for this one exact case. Anyway I just wanted to help with some hint, so you guys know where to look.

Cheers,

Hi sgabe,

It only occurred to me this morning to check what version you where using, which I see is 2.1. Try downloading the latest development build, there's changes to prevent character cutoff that should fix this exact problem.

Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.

Cheers,

Hi Deciphered,
I upgraded to the latest dev version and it's better but not perfect, 70 percent of the accent is still out of sight.

Hi sgabe,

I'm still looking into solutions for this issue (that I am happy with). I haven't had a lot of time to dedicate to Textimage of late, but rest assured I will not forget this issue and fully intend to have it fixed for the release of 2.2.

Cheers,

Thanks a lot for all your efforts to fix this issue!

Make sure that you use an truetype font (.ttf) instead of an opent ype font (.otf), as PHP/GD only has limited support for open type fonts. That did the trick for me atleast.

#9

Sorry, I didn't mention it but the problem occurs with TrueType font of course. I'm still increasing the dimensions by 5 pixel, that solves the problem until a real solution.
