PHP GD not rendering unicode fonts properly

Question

I am having problems in rendering unicode glyphs ( language : Malayalam, Tamil and Hindi) with PHP GD library. Is this something related to the rendering engine of GD library? A

Answer 1

i have found one try this

setSourceRGB(.1,149,.58);
    $c->paint();

    $c->setSourceRGB(.1,.1,.1);

    /* Make a Pango layout, set the font, then set the layout size */
    $l = new PangoLayout($c);
    $desc = new PangoFontDescription("mangal normal $fontSize");
    $l->setFontDescription($desc);

    /* Here, we use Pango markup to make part of the text bold */
    $l->setText($text);

    /* Draw the layout on the surface */
    $l->showLayout($c);
    $s->writeToPng("unicode.png");
    echo $img = "";        
?>
