CODE
Using imageloadfont
<?php
$im = imagecreate(50, 20);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 49, 19, $white);
$font = imageloadfont("04b.gdf");
imagestring($im, $font, 0, 0, "Hello", $black);
imagepng($im);
?>
<?php
$im = imagecreate(50, 20);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 49, 19, $white);
$font = imageloadfont("04b.gdf");
imagestring($im, $font, 0, 0, "Hello", $black);
imagepng($im);
?>
This is an example for illustrating how to create a image including a string with a specific font. In the codes, a font named "04b.gdf" is loaded and the string is created according to the font. What is the font named gdf? I mean what's the limitation or specification of the font.
I wish to dynamically create a Chinese Words in a image. Is it possible to implemete it in PHP? If the imageloadfont can load my font in MS Window, that will be grateful. I can't think that I can map each Chinese word to a specific image, and combine some Chinese word image to form a string, because there will be more than 10,000 words in a Chinese font.
Can anyone give me a exact answer about whether I can dynamically create a Chinese string in a image? Thank you.
