System: FreeBSD desk.lyx 4.10-BETA FreeBSD 4.10-BETA #24: Wed Apr 14 09:07:40 CEST 2004 wolfgang@desk.lyx:/var/obj/usr/local/src/sys/DESK i386
Port version: php4-4.3.6_1
Port parameters: BATCH=YES WITH_WDDX=YES WITH_GD=YES
>Description:
When you try to render text containing characters above 0x7f,
e.g. a german "umlaut", into a graphic, all characters > 0x7f
are rendered as an empty block. I haven't tried this on non-FreeBSD
systems yet, but there is some evidence this is a FreeBSD- and not
a PHP problem: This bug creates a problem for users of the typo3
CMS system in creating graphical menues. All users reporting
this problem on the typo3 mailing lists where using FreeBSD,
while most(?) of the typo3 users apparently use Linux.
>How-To-Repeat:
The php-script imgtest.php below here demonstrates the problem.
It should generate a jpg containing the text "Bäh!" (note the
second letter is a german a-umlaut). The second character is
displayed as an empty white block with black borders instead.
I used an arial-font from the x11-fonts/webfonts port, but
any other ttf-font containing that character should do. Just
change /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/arial.ttf to the font
you want to use.
--- imgtest.php begins here ---
<?php
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$im = imagecreate(400, 30);
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black,
// Replace path with your own font path:
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/arial.ttf",
utf8_encode("Bäh!"));
imagejpeg($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>
--- imgtest.php ends here ---
>Fix:
You can work around the problem by compiling lang/php4 in a way
that it uses graphics/gd instead of the builtin gd bundled with
php4. To do this change the Line in lang/php4/Makefile saying
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-gd \
into
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-gd=${LOCALBASE} \
and build lang/php4 after installing graphics/gd first.
Be aware that this minimal Makefile patch doesn't register the
dependency from ang/php4 to graphics/gd, to do this you would
probably have to add a LIB_DEPENDS line as well.
