The functions in this section control the text fonts used by PHPlot. PHPlot supports built-in GD fonts and TrueType fonts (if available on your system). You cannot mix TrueType and built-in GD fonts in the same image. PHPlot does not support Adobe Type1 fonts, even if your GD supports them.
Tip
The appearance of the built-in GD fonts was improved with recent versions of GD, including the GD bundled with recent versions of PHP. TrueType fonts are computationally expensive to work with, so you should consider using the built-in GD fonts instead.
The following figure shows the built-in GD fonts plus a sample TrueType font. (Depending on how you are viewing this manual, the sizes of the fonts in this figure might differ from how they would look in a PHPlot image. For more on font sizes, see the notes with SetFont.)
