Solaris BDF fonts

[DaiWelsh]

I am creating dynamic images with PHP on a host's Solaris box. I would like to use fonts other than the standard (ugly) ones available through the GD library.

Firstly am i right in thinking I can get hold of BDF font files, uplaod them into my web space and then load them through GD calls in PHP?

Secondly does anyone have any good sources for some BDF files for 'common' fonts?

pyro, if you feel the second part of this would be better in another forum feel free to move it..

TIA,

Dai

Yes, I belive you can load BDF font files into GD, but I'm not sure how involved it will be... I've never tried anything like that... Actually, I've not really done much with GD in general.

As far as finding BDF fonts, I could only recommend a google search...
