Manual - BCGFontFile

Introduction

This class allows you to draw text with a desired TTF font on GD2 images.

Depending on the font and size you choose, PHP may clip the right side of the label if it's aligned on the right. This is due to a PHP bug not returning the correct bounding box for the label. To counteract this problem, you can change the PHP_BOX_FIX value in the file in order to make the bounding box larger on the right by an amount of X pixels.

The default value is 0.
