    Hi guys,

    There is some function that my friends and I work on and they are encountering problems with it. Here is the case

    There is an input field on the site where the user can type text
    There are like few fonts/images of fonts that he can choose from
    When he submits the form the text he has written should appear on an image with the font he has chosen.

    The problem is that the fonts are not system fonts, they should be located on the server

    Now could someone tell me whether this is possible to do without FLASH, all needs to be HTML, JAVASCRIPT, PHP AJAX but not FLASH.

    Solutions will be appreaciated.

    GD needs to be installed and with any luck the server will also have support for true type fonts. If you can use them, you can do anything!!!
