And Emperor, the latest version of that lib does interesting thing, even has an option to embed html <img> tags as pdf file pictures. Looks like a cool toy. I am also fooling around with gd, but the gd setup I have at wapod, seems uncomplete, badly installed, or badly configured. (freetype font path == outside my web, for instance). I wish I could use my own little java classes for such server tasks, they'd be much more flexible and faster, but at wapod, I got limits: having a server runtime environment installed would cost me 4 times the current price of the server... Anyway, just look at how easy it is to import font files on the fly from within a VM: atm, it only works with tt fonts, but... [url=http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/2d/new_features.html]http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/2d/new_features.html[/url] [code] File file = new File("Arial.ttf"); FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file); Font font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, fis); [/code] The nicest aspect of this is that fonts only exist during VM execution, which, on a server, means: "until the server needs a reboot". =) So, basically, the machine time spent to load and make the font file available to java classes is only spent once. And unlike freetype shite, applying some quality antialiasing - or any filter using this technique is very, very easy, just write your text to a pixel buffer, and then, shrink, distort, tint, emboss, mess up the pixel buffer as needed. One could imagine a java class that is called using a simple php script, for instance, that passes parameters, like text/format (gif-png-jpeg-wbmp)/output path/file title, and ta-dam! On the specified output path, you'd get the resulting image files. Or better: a chron job could regularly call the class and refresh the images, given an input text. The input text could be recovered from a table in a mysql db. And you would have a fine tool to automate buttons and logos production using truetype and any filter you'd want. ... I should really, really get myself a java enabled web server... miss the bucks, and lack time to really dedicate myself to it, but it would be great. Loading...
