Example 1. imagepsloadfont() example

<?php header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); $im = imagecreate(350, 45); $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0); $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255); $font = imagepsloadfont("bchbi.pfb"); // or locate your .pfb files on your machine imagepstext($im, "Testing... It worked!", $font, 32, $white, $black, 32, 32); imagepsfreefont($font); imagejpeg($im, "", 100); //for best quality...your mileage may vary imagedestroy($im); ?>

Note: This function is only available if PHP is compiled using --with-t1lib[=DIR].

I had to use a full path to the font file or else I received errors from t1lib. Using just a filename, I received error 14. Using ./filename I received error 2.
