Imagemagick与PHP

Question

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ImagickDrawException' with message 'The given font is not found in the ImageMagick configuration and the file (/var/www/Arial) is not accessible' in /var/www/captcha.php:20 Stack trace:

0 /var/www/captcha.php(20): ImagickDraw->setfont('Arial') #1

{main} thrown in /var/www/captcha.php on line 20

I am getting the following errors when i try the following

<?php

/* Create Imagick object */
$Imagick = new Imagick();



/* Set font and font size. You can also specify /path/to/font.ttf */
$ImagickDraw->setFont( 'Helvetica Regular' );


?>

Answer 1

You need to pass a filename to setFont(), not a font name. E.g:

ImagickDraw->setFont('fonts/arial.ttf');

See the comment on the PHP manual page. Apparently this function only accepts filenames relative to the site root. It does not accept font names like Imagick::setFont() does.
