<para>
The font size to use in points.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>angle</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The angle in degrees, with 0 degrees being left-to-right reading text.
Higher values represent a counter-clockwise rotation. For example, a
value of 90 would result in bottom-to-top reading text.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>x</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The coordinates given by <parameter>x</parameter> and
<parameter>y</parameter> will define the basepoint of the first
character (roughly the lower-left corner of the character). This
is different from the <function>imagestring</function>, where
<parameter>x</parameter> and <parameter>y</parameter> define the
upper-left corner of the first character. For example, "top left"
is 0, 0.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>y</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The y-ordinate. This sets the position of the fonts baseline, not the
very bottom of the character.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>color</parameter></term>
<listitem>

The index of the desired color for the text, see
<function>imagecolorexact</function>.

<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>fontfile</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The path to the TrueType font you wish to use.
</para>
<para>
Depending on which version of the GD library PHP is using, <emphasis>when
<parameter>fontfile</parameter> does not begin with a leading
<literal>/</literal> then <literal>.ttf</literal> will be appended</emphasis>
to the filename and the library will attempt to search for that
filename along a library-defined font path.
</para>
<para>
When using versions of the GD library lower than 2.0.18, a <literal>space</literal> character,
rather than a semicolon, was used as the 'path separator' for different font files.
Unintentional use of this feature will result in the warning message:
<literal>Warning: Could not find/open font</literal>. For these affected versions, the
only solution is moving the font to a path which does not contain spaces.
</para>
<para>
In many cases where a font resides in the same directory as the script using it
the following trick will alleviate any include problems.
