bengt: Use a truetype font

Derick is right, it should be documented.

Hi,

In Swedish we use these 3 extra letters ��� and � is missing :(

This is not mentioned in the documentation, and another problem is that
latin2 doesn't have the swedish characters. I think you can use UTF8 but
that should be verified.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

You have to give latin2 (ISO-8859-2) strings or char.

My eample is here http://sm7jqb.se/PHP/test_sv_jpeg.php

And the script, just taken from the book
<?php
$im = imagecreate(150, 30);
$bg = imagecolorallocate($im, 250, 250, 250);
$textcolor = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

// write the string at the top left
imagestring($im, 5, 0, 0, "-Test-���-���-", $textcolor);
//My swedish letter �-� goes wrong, just this letter only!

// output the image
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
imagejpeg($im);
?>  

My webhotel run 4.4.1 byt I have same truble at home with 4.1. and it
was the same problem with 4.0

The built in fonts in GD all use latin2 which doesn't have your
characters in the same places as the latin1 you're using. ..
