FreeType 2 is a small, efficient and highly customizable software
font engine that is capable of producing high-quality output
(glyph images). We have enabled Freetype and GD support into
PHP, allowing for easy dynamic creation of raster type overlaid
on graphics.
PHP
with gd support allows your web server to quickly draw dynamic
images complete with lines, arcs, text (with Freetype support),
multiple colors, cut and paste from other images, along with
flood fills, and write images as a PNG or JPEG file.
| Freetype
supports the following
font formats: |

TrueType (fonts and collections) |
SFNT-based bitmap |
