Me again. I now used the same Font but as TTF – and it works. I read before on a website that TTF works better than OTF in imagettftext().

Thanks for your help, I appreciate that.

Thanks for your very fast answer! =)

Well, I tried to just enter ‘ä ö ü’ in the imagettftext() but that doesn’t work…

My font is an OTF that definitely has those special chars.

Have you got an idea how to fix this?

Thanks, Simon

Currently the characters being printed are taken from URL in the demo script, you can use proper character coding to make it happen.

I tried to use the Script and i works pretty well, thanks.

But then I tried to use special characters (German: ä, ü, ö etc). That doesn’t work…

Can you help me with this issue? That would be great =)

Thanks, Simon
