pfa font and label

[immortal26]

Well simple as this.
Here is the code:

Code: Select all

$path = "/opt/local/bin/";
$comp = '/working/www/core/html/hc/back/comp/';
$bfont = '/working/www/core/html/hc/back/fonts/c128b.pfa';

$compolay = $path.'convert -pointsize 72 -fill "#000000" -background white -font '.$bfont.' label: "'.$barcode.'" '.$comp.'bar.png';
exec($compolay);

does not create the image.

Also when running a static command of the one above in the command line... just hangs, until I ctrl-c out

I have checked the formats, pfa is supported, gs is installed, ft is installed... everything is installed correctly, only hangs with this.

Any ideas?

I can't see anything obviously wrong. Does the command:

convert logo: logo.png

work?

If so, change things until it matches your command. At what point does it fail? What is the simplest command that fails?

[immortal26]

Yup worked just fine.... weird.

I'm going to pm you the pfa font, maybe you can give it a try?

I've picked up the pfa font. Never heard of them, and know nothing about them. When I try:

convert -pointsize 20 -fill #000000 -font c128b.pfa label:"snibgo" x.png

I get Ghostscript errors:

Could be a bad pfa file. Do other pfa files work?

[immortal26]

hmm, i don't get any errors with it. The font is fine (bought lol).
Just hangs on mine, but no errors.
Maybe need some help from Admins

Try using a truetype font and see if that works fine.
