Re: [ft-devel] Pb with PHP/MAMP

Hi,

Yet I have no intel Mac, so I cannot try to reproduce
the trouble you got - and I'm really unfamiliar with
PHP and MAMP...

Sounds interesting! Which script you're working for?

I'm not sure if you're asking about freetype specific issue,
or the incompatibility between raw PHP versus MAMP package.
Please describe what you used before MAMP (and got expected
result).

Hmm. imagettfbbox is a part of PHP - so, you find the
incompatible values between that in raw PHP (built by
yourself, or by Apple) versus that in MAMP?
If possible, could you check whether the version of
freetype is changed before/after the migration?

Please upload any TTF to reproduce the problem somewhere.
However, freetype developer will check the metric returned
by freetype is same with your expect /or not, but may not
check the metric returned by PHP/MAMP. In fact, I have no
access to Snow Leopard machine yet, and the report by other
machines, other binaries (e.g. PHP running on GNU/Linux)
would not what you want.
