Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello,
at job, we host internally more than 3000 fonts taken from differents typographies.
Typographies want to take only needed fonts from others, so server host fonts and users pick only needed.
All fine.

I want to create a graphical preview for given fonts folders, without install them on my Windows server.

Find nice PHP script here : http://www.rubblewebs.co.uk/imagemagick ... /fonts.php
But understand that it returns 'only' installed fonts. I've one directory for every typography
so i wanto to show, with an image, a preview for every fonts.

Anyone can help me with some hints?

thank you,
m.

I don't understand the question. IM can read ttf font files, even if they are not installed. For example: A script could find what font files are on your computer, and use a command like this to create a sample.

You could use glob() to build an array of all the fonts in a folder and then loop over that using snibgo's command above replacing "one-stroke-script.ttf" with the font name.

Ok, for fonts different than ttf?

I can not remember what fonts IM supports but a quick Google search turned up this post

Try in next days,
quick google search take me here : http://www.rubblewebs.co.uk/imagemagick ... /fonts.php

Thank you,
