TTF font problem - in PHP

Hi,

I have a problem - I created a very simple font, but it does not want to show in PHP. I have been advised to recompile it in MS VOLT. It did not work

I would like to use it for GD image creation in PHP, but it shows only hollow rectangulars.

Can somebody help me how to check for problem? I think there was mentioned somewhere in PHP.net that UTF-8 maping is needed. With MS VOLT I got an error message that CMAP FOMAT IS UNKNOWN.

Can anybody help me?

DG

There was an issue with some of the recent revisions of the FCP tool that, unknown to the average user, set the SYMBOL FONT flags in the FORMAT-->SETTINGS-->RANGES for UNICODE and CODEPAGE tables that would cause your average application to NOT see the font as a standard WESTERN font and BAM, you get those UNDEFINED CHARACTER symbols.

Check these settings and see if SYMBOL CHARACTER SET flag is set, especially in the CODE PAGE flags.

It might be the issue.
