ImagePSLoadFont -- Load a PostScript Type 1 font from file

Description

int imagepsloadfont (string filename)

In the case everything went right, a valid font index will be returned and can be used for further purposes. Otherwise the function returns FALSE and prints a message describing what went wrong, which you cannot read directly, while the output type is image.

<?php
Header ("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$im = ImageCreate (350, 45);
$black = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$white = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
$font=ImagePsLoadFont("bchbi.pfb");
// or locate your .pfb files on your machine
ImagePsText($im, "Testing... It worked!",
$font, 32, $white, $black, 32, 32);
ImagePsFreeFont($font); 
ImageJpeg($im, "", 100);//for best quality... your mileage may vary
ImageDestroy ($im);
?>
