RE: [PHP] Beveled text

Interesting, is this for a website? If so have you tried doing the same
thing with CSS? Using CSS you could make the site load faster and be more
accessible (for instance, you can allow users to choose their own font size,
and make it easier for page readers to handle your page).

Hmm, yes. Attached result gets stripped by the listserv. So, it's
also visible here:

When I originally created the script, it was simply an exercise, to
see if I could do it. However, I have since then incorporated it into a
site design of mine, where I wanted the headers to be images,
dynamically created. So yes, for each page that loads, each header
calls this script which then spits out the PNG data. Large overhead,
simply because I never bothered looking into doing it with CSS, and also
because outputting a PNG image I'm guaranteed it will work, and it will
look the way I want it to look (both font type, as well as with layout
positioning,) as opposed to dealing with broken browsers and people not
seeing the same thing. And also because I can use my fonts, instead of
relying on the user having a particular font installed on their system.
