Removed Support for PostScript Type1 Fonts from gd Extension

The support for PostScript Type1 fonts has been removed from the gd extension. Therefore, the following functions are no longer available:

• imagepsbbox()
• imagepsencodefont()
• imagepsextendfont()
• imagepsfreefont()
• imagepsloadfont()
• imagepsslantfont()
• imagepstext()

If your code still relies on these functions, you have to substitute them and use TrueType fonts instead of PostScript Type1 fonts. Both are vector-based so there should not be any issue with regard to quality of the fonts.

Use the function imagettftext() to embed TrueType text into an image.
