    Hi all,
    I want to write a string to a JPG file with GD (2.0.28 compatible)
    I am using imagettftext to write a string in an angle of 7 degrees.
    I like to change the character spacing in the string.
    Is there an easy way to set the character spacing ? I checked several functions but I can not find it.
    Thanks

    Hello,

    Instead of telling PHP to draw the string at once, try to place characters one by one and specifying the character position.
    If you don't succeed just put your code here and I (or someone else from DP) will edit it... It easier to assist you when you show your code

    I was thinking about the same but I was hoping that there was aneasier solution.
    I will need to calculate the position well because the abgle is 7 degrees.
