Project Detail

Description

I need a simple PHP function to generate the image of the given font. I want it to be able to generate the image for ttf and otf files. No need for any UI. Just one simple function. I need it to be VERY VERY FAST. It can be as simple as this:

<img src="fontgen.php?f=Harry Potter.ttf"/>

Also I want it to have maximum 2 files. One would be image.php (generates the font image) and one settings.php (all the settings are stored here).

Here is the variables for settings.php that I need:
$fontSize = 14; // This will resize the font if $autoResizeFont is false.
$autoResizeFont = true; // This will resize the font to $imgWidth and $imgHeight the best it can if it is set to true ($fontSize will be ignored).
$sampleText = 'This is a sample text'; // Sample text to generate.
$fontColor = '#000000'; // Font color.
$backgroundColor = '#ffffff'; // Background color.
$transparentBackground = true; // Transparent background.
$imgWidth = '700'; // Width of all images in pixels.
$imgHeight = '90'; // Height of all images in pixels.
$fontStorage = 'storage'; // Default folder to store fonts to hide the fonts folder from the users and stop batch downloads...
$fontSpacing = '3'; // Spacing between each character in pixels.

Others:
The text in the image has to be centered in all directions.

Also I want to be able to overdrive the settings too. For example the command below will:
<img src="fontgen.php?f=verdana.ttf&w=300&h=100&s=20&t=Sample Text&tc=FF0000&bc=00FF00&tar=false&trbg=false" />
generate the image for "verdana.ttf" with the width of 300 pixels, height of 100 pixels, size of 20pt, text sample of "Sample Text", text color of "FF0000", background color of "00FF00", text auto resize of "false", and transparent background of "false".

Another example to overdrive the image with less settings would be (rest of the settings that are not set will be used from settings.php):
<img src="fontgen.php?f=tahoma.ttf&w=600&h=70&t=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" />
This command will generate the image for "tahoma.ttf" with the width of 600px, height of 70px, and the text sample of "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".

I have provided some fonts too. Use these fonts to test the script.

The project budget is $50 to $80. And again I need this script to be VERY VERY VERY FAST.

I will combine this script with movabletype to make a font site. So imagine generating at least 20 images for each user. That's why it has to be very fast.

If you need more info let me know.
