The default TrueType font directory is '.', meaning fonts will be
|
|
|
10 |
loaded from the directory containing your main PHP script.
|
|
|
11 |
PHPlot also attempts to load fonts without any path, which allows GD
|
|
|
12 |
to try to locate the font using its own internal rules. This works on
|
|
|
13 |
some platforms, but not on others.
|
|
|
14 |
</p><p>
|
|
|
15 |
SetTTFPath does not enable the use of TrueType fonts.
|
|
|
16 |
See the note at the end of the reference for <a class="xref" href="SetUseTTF.html" title="SetUseTTF"><span class="refentrytitle">SetUseTTF</span></a>
|
|
|
17 |
on how to set up and use TrueType fonts.
|
|
|
18 |
</p><p>
|
|
|
19 |
The default TrueType font directory is also used to find an internally-set
|
|
|
20 |
default font. This means that if you use SetTTFPath, but do not specify a
|
|
|
21 |
font name (with <a class="xref" href="SetDefaultTTFont.html" title="SetDefaultTTFont"><span class="refentrytitle">SetDefaultTTFont</span></a>,
|
|
|
22 |
<a class="xref" href="SetFont.html" title="SetFont"><span class="refentrytitle">SetFont</span></a>, or <a class="xref" href="SetFontTTF.html" title="SetFontTTF"><span class="refentrytitle">SetFontTTF</span></a>),
|
|
|
23 |
PHPlot will attempt to select a default font from its internal list, but
|
|
|
24 |
using the directory you specify with SetTTFPath.
|
|
|
25 |
This can be useful on platforms where you are willing to use a default
|
|
|
26 |
font, but the internal GD rules on how to locate fonts do not work.

|

|
|
|
30 |
Use of the default TrueType font directory to locate the initial, default
|
|
|
31 |
font was implemented in PHPlot-5.1.3.
|
|
|
32 |
Also with this release, fonts are first searched for without a path, which
|
|
|
33 |
allows GD to try to locate the font using its internal rules.
|
|
|
34 |
</p><p>
|
|
|
35 |
Starting with PHPlot-5.0rc3, the default TrueType font directory is used both
|
|
|
36 |
for the default font set with <a class="xref" href="SetDefaultTTFont.html" title="SetDefaultTTFont"><span class="refentrytitle">SetDefaultTTFont</span></a> and for
|
|
|
37 |
fonts set with <a class="xref" href="SetFont.html" title="SetFont"><span class="refentrytitle">SetFont</span></a>. Refer to those two functions for
|
|
|
38 |
details.
