GD fontMaker v1
This simple script takes a PNG as input, and creates a GD compatible font from it. The online demo includes an example PNG and detailed usage instructions.
demo - source
If you're looking to re-create existing fonts, try the windows font to GD Font convertor by philiplb.de
I think my script is more useful for creating your own custom GD fonts, or if you want to modify an existing font (or for learning exactly how GD fonts are constructed).

Says: Awesome - this works great. Just a note to all using photoshop: use 'File->Save As' PNG, not 'File->Save for Web' to create a non-interlaced PNG for input - otherwise it won't work.
Thanks again for saving me - now I have a copy of MINI7 that I can generate images with.

Says: Hmm the font to gdf program you linked to leaves alot of padding around the characters. Very noticable and not good at all. I\'ll give yours a try instead.

Says: Hi there,
The tool didn't generate a valid font on my Apple PPC. To make it architecture independet I changed line 42 to:
// encode this at start of font
$fontdata = pack("L",$numchars).pack("L",$startchar).pack("L",$pixelwidth).pack("L",$pixelheight);
hope it's useful for somebody...

ah, thanks, I really appreciate that.

Says: These may be simple questions, but I just don't seem to get it.
If I want to use all caps and lower letters and numbers, what do I put in the 'total number of characters' and 'starting character' fields?
How do I use different fonts?
Also, what should the PNG image be? Should it be a plain white image, or any kind of image within it??
Thanks,
Pasquale

from u24:
you'd need to create a PNG with the following characters evenly spaced in black on a white background:
0123456789:;?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~
the starting character would be zero (0), and the number of characters would be 79
the character width and height would have to be determined by you; see the example linked in the demo.

You've posted this on the wrong page. There's a dedicated area for freecap support. This page is for a different script.
Regardless of that, you're actually using a third-party script built on top of freecap - you should talk to the developers of the sr_freecap extension about the error. I'm not involved with development of that.

Says: In order to show hilites and shadows, I need to create an 8 bit "greyscale" font rather than the single "black" color. Is this possible?
If not, are there any php gd scripts available for tranposing an array of characters into corresponding images? (ie each character will have its own unique image file on disk, rather than a single font file)
Thanks

from u24:
no, and no.
but what you can so is write the string in grey at x,y then write it in black at x-1, y-1; thus creating a dropshadow effect.
