Hi, We're using phplot ver 6.2 on two significantly different versions of Mac OS (10.9 and 10.14). The Arial text font that we use renders differently on these two OS versions, though they both report using the same version of GD, (2.1.0 compatible). The effect is that both the character spacing and aspect ratio are different.
The GD versionas reported by phpinfo(), and the truetype font files are the same, phpinfo() reports using different versions of Freetype, 2.3.11 versus 2.4.2. Does that explain the different renderings? What is the solution to making them render the same? Thanks in advance.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

That sounds like a kerning issue ( https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/tutorial/step2.html ). So I would guess that - it is the differences between the Freetype setup that's causing that issue.
