UTF8 strings in images

[jarek]

Hi all!
If someone has problems with improper rendering of UTF-8 strings in images, here is the solution:
Replace all occurrences if imagestring with imagettftext :
i.e. in include/classes.graph.inc.php, replace:

imagestring($this->im, $fontnum,$x,1, $str , $this->GetColor('Dark Red No Alpha')); 

with:

imagettftext($this->im,
                        9,
                        0,
                        $x,
                        13,
                        $this->GetColor('Dark Red No Alpha'),
                        '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf',
                        $str
                ); 

Of course this assumes that you have proper ttf fonts. This example assumes that you have ttf-dejavu package installed on debian etch.
Good luck!
