Fonts installed - Anthony 15/6/2008

You can find which fonts are available to you in your standard installation by using the code below. ( NB: "font" replaced "type" in the latest release due to a name clash for the '-type' options list ).

  1. <?php
  2. // Select the version number from the configeration file
  3. preg_match('/^LIB_VERSION_NUMBER ([0-9,]+)$/m', shell_exec("convert -list configure "), $vnums);
  4. // Seperate the numbers at the ,
  5. $number = explode( ",", $vnums[1] );
  6. // Format the version from 6,3,4,1 format to 06030401
  7. $version = "";
  8. for($i=0;$i<4;$i++)
  9. {
  10. $version .= str_pad( $number[$i], 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT );
  11. } 
  12. // The 'list' method used to get the fonts changed in IM v6.3.5-7
  13. $font_list = ( $version > "06030507" ) ? "font" : "type";
  14. // Display the version of Imagemagick, the method to read the fonts and the list of fonts
  15. echo "<h2>IM version: ".$version." </h2>\n
  16. <h3>Method used: convert -list $font_list</h3>\n
  17. <hr>\n<pre>";
  18. system("convert -list $font_list");
  19. echo "</pre>\n<hr>";
  20. ?>
