@Gerard

It is. However you might wanna experiment; some fonts give better results than others. But same with gifbuilder or sIFR.

@Jacco

THX! I was looking for a clear tut on this matter. I hope this is gonna be the new standard for font-embedding on the web.

Hi Maarten,

I have some good result by using real custom fonts instead of gifbuilder or sIFR. Check this out –> http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator

Nice, definitly easier than my solution. Too bad it only works with 4.3 since there are still a lot of people using the older branches. How did you know about this new functionality? I thought I knew all new features… quess I was wrong :)

This one works fine:

page = PAGE
page.10 = IMAGE
page.10 {
file = GIFBUILDER
file {
XY = [20.w]+5,[20.lineHeight]*0.3+[20.h]
transparentBackground = 1
20 = TEXT
20 {
text = This is a long text that will hopefully break automatically…
breakWidth = 50
breakSpace = 1.0
offset = 0,[20.lineHeight]
niceText = 0
}
}
}

Does GIFBUILDER take wordcuts into account? Otherwise it’s useless.
As far as I know it only breaks the lines by a set width, which means there is no way to tell how this is going to end up in your sentence.

Do you have a working example using different headers?

GIFBUILDER supports linebreaks since TYPO3 4.3:
