Problem with Font usage (incorrect output)
Posted: 2009-03-22T07:58:26-07:00
Hello there,
i am having some trouble with dynamically creating text in images. Due to the CI of my client, i must make use of the "Fago" font, of which from my client i only got .afm files. I managed find .pfm and .pfb files, too, but i could not get them to work on the target machine. I instead used Fontlab then, to create a TTF font from it, but when i use it with the according font size, i end up with an output that does not look right at all .. i think i may be doing something wrong - or the whole TTF approach does not do the job. I don't really know, so i came here to find out ..
My command looks like that (its dynamically generated in PDF) :
The output looks like this:
Can anyone help me out here? I'd love to get this project finished ..
Thank you very much!
