GDF font files for a SunSPARC Server

Post by mfarley »

I'm trying to use .GDF font files with the PHP imageloadfont function:

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.imageloadfont.php

However all the .GDF files I find are created on x86 platforms/servers. Since my host is a SunSPARC server, it's not able to read these files, quote from the above link:

"The font file format is currently binary and architecture dependent. This means you should generate the font files on the same type of CPU as the machine you are running PHP on."

So my question is - can I convert an x86 binary to SunSPARC binary? Or somehow get SunSPARC compatible GDF font files?

Thanks!
