Re: [GD-DEVEL] Font Effects (Oblique, 'Bold', etc)

hi,

Something much more flexible in under development using the Pango
rendering library. It supports advanced options and unicode, see some
example here: http://pierre.libgd.org/pango/

It is planed to include this API in PHP as well as soon as we are happy with it.

Cheers,
