Casey,

Thank you for replying.

Try imagettftext().

I did, as explained:

$font = '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefonts/FreeSans.ttf';
$imagettftext($image, 20, 0, $x, $y-10, $textColour, $font, $text);

So my questions remain:

1. 'FreeSans.ttf' is in my /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefonts
directory. But specifying it doesn't seem to work. How do I get the
system to find the font?

2. I need the scripts I'm writing to be portable, so can I be sure of
what fonts will be available, and will I be able to locate them?

3. I'm not really concerned about what font it is, just that it's large
and readable. If there are other options than what I've explored here,
then I would be open to those too.

Thank you for any advice.
