I'm forwarding this from the ancient https://bugs.php.net/34670; I had reported that a couple of years ago upstream (libgd/libgd#758), where the ticket had been closed as WONTFIX; however, that was a week after libgd 2.3.3 had been released, which has optional support for libraqm, which solves the issue, as I found out while investigating on libgd/libgd#861.
The following code:
<?php
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(64, 32);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, imagesx($im) - 1, imagesy($im) - 1, 0x000000);
imagettftext($im, 16, 0, 10, 20, 0xffffff, "Arial", hex2bin("c3a461cc88"));
imagegif($im, __DIR__ . "/out.gif");Resulted in this output (bundled libgd):
But I expected this output instead (libgd 2.3.3 with libraqm):
So to solve this for our bundled libgd, we would need to add support for libraqm (probably that wouldn't be a big deal, if especially gdft.c hadn't been diverged between bundled and external libgd, and I believe there are a couple of important fixes only in bundled libgd). For Windows users, we would also need to build and ship libraqm and its dependencies (at least harfbuzz in this case).
