imagettftext question

Post by WaldoMonster »

When I add a ttf font to a website will imagettftext also work on systems that normally don't support ttf fonts?
In other words when compiling php with gd, is the imagettftext function on all operating systems available?

I have only operating systems that natively support ttf.
I hope that someone with a *nix operating system can try it out or know if it works?

TrueType fonts aren't simply native files to Windows or Mac.

Do you mean it only depends on the programs that support them?
