East Asian Characters rendered as squares with PHP imagettftext()
Hi, I'm trying to render images with verdana text using PHP imagettftext function. However, all east asian characters are not being rendered correctly. I tried using other fonts like tahoma and Lucida Grande, but neither works. Arial Unicode, however, works perfectly. The problem is that I don't want to use Arial as my font. Is there a...
complete, monospaced Unicode font?
I'm looking for a good programming font that lets me add comments and string literals in Unicode, usually Japanese and Chinese along with some Latin and Cyrillic languages. So far the situation seems to be "complete, monospace, free, pick 2" and Google is failing me with this (maybe because there are no good ones?). The best I found is...

Is there a way to suspend all anchored controls on a form from moving or resizing themselves temporarily? i.e.: procedure ScaleFormBy(AForm: TForm; n, d: Integer); begin AForm.SuspendAnchors(); try AForm.ScaleBy(n, d); finally AForm.ResumeAnchors(); end; end; I need to do this because I'm calling AForm....

Corrupt TrueType Font Detection
I am at present dealing with a corrupt TrueType font. Programs available to me tell me there is a problem with the maxp table -- the maxContours member has a value that is too large.

How do I get my emacs to *always* use 6x13 on X11
I recently declared .emacs bankrupcy and reorganized my init stuff. In the process, I ripped out all the hacky font selection stuff I had accrued over the years, figuring there are probably easier ways to accomplish what I want in the most modern version of emacs. GNU Emacs 23.0.91.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.4) on a GNU/Lin...
Itext embed font in a PDF
I have a pdf that has been created using the Foxit form designer. On my design system, I have the barcode font installed. The barcode font is used in one of the AcroFields.

How to determine the O/S filename of an installed font?
We use a third-party PDF Generator library which requires that you specify the TrueType or Type1 file name when using a font other than the 14 or so that are part of the default PDF standard. So if I want to use Bitstream Arrus Bold I have to know to reference arrusb.ttf. Short of enumerating all of the files in the font folder and cr...

How to calculate text height and width for a PPLA printer?
I'm building an application to print labels using a PPLA printer (Argox OS-214). So far, I've got to manage how to centralize a barcode in a label, but now I'm stuck trying to do the same for text.

drawAtPoint: and drawInRect: blurry text
When drawing strings using drawAtPoint:, drawInRect: and even setting the text property of UILabels - the text can sometimes appear slightly blurry. I tend to use Helvetica in most places, and I notice that specific font sizes cause some level of blurriness to occur, both in the simulator and on the device. For example: UIFont *labelF...
