<function>imagefttext</function> is an extended variant of
<function>imagettftext</function> which additionally supports the

<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>
<para>
The color index. Using the negative of a color index has the effect of
turning off antialiasing. See <function>imagecolorallocate</function>.
</para>

&gd.ttf.fontfile;
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>text</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>
The text string in UTF-8 encoding.
</para>
<para>
May include decimal numeric character references (of the form:
&amp;#8364;) to access characters in a font beyond position 127.
The hexadecimal format (like &amp;#xA9;) is supported.
Strings in UTF-8 encoding can be passed directly.
</para>
<para>
Named entities, such as &amp;copy;, are not supported. Consider using
<function>html_entity_decode</function>
to decode these named entities into UTF-8 strings.
</para>
<para>
If a character is used in the string which is not supported by the
font, a hollow rectangle will replace the character.

&reftitle.returnvalues;
<para>
Returns an array with 8 elements representing four points making the
bounding box of the text. The order of the points is lower left, lower
right, upper right, upper left. The points are relative to the text
regardless of the angle, so "upper left" means in the top left-hand
corner when you see the text horizontally.
Returns &false; on error.
