PHP, the GD Library and Japanese

Postby cranbrook3006 » 30. June 2008 14:09

Hi Everyone.

I am trying to output Japanese characters to an image generated on-the-fly using PHP and the GD libary (imagettftext), but they are being displayed as little rectangles. I believe the reason may be that the version of PHP in my XAMPP installation is not configured to enable display of Japanese. I think PHP needs to be built with the "--enable-gd-jis-conv" switch. Can anyobdy confirm that the PHP supplied with XAMPP For Windows is not enabled for displaying Japanese using the GD library? If this is the case, do I have to compile a version of PHP?

(BTW, I know my data string holds the correct Japanese characters, as they are displayed fine in normal HTML; I have got the right utf-8 charset stuff set up in my web pages ok.)

Any helpful advice will be most gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

Dude, I'm currently trying to get Japanese fonts working in PHP. Did you ever find a solution?

Regards,
