GD not marshalling libgd stringft bounds properly?

I’m running into a problem where the bounding boxes of fonts (in stringFT) seem to clip bits that trail to the right. The bounding box returned by GD is drawn on the attached image, and does not enclose the entire text. I reported this to Pierre Joye, who is working on libgd. But, he was unable to reproduce it at his API level. So, I thought I should report it here. Lots of details on this bug can be found here: http://bugs.libgd.org/?do=details&task_id=80 Perhaps the problem is with marshalling the bounding box between APIs?

No, we just pass through the parameters unchanged to libgd. It's entirely their thing. You must have used an older libgd version than Pierre Joye, or your font didn't have the kerning hints for italic or your libft cannot handle all of truetype. -- Reini Urban
