Inconsistent number size on charts - Help Please!

[staffjam]

Hi,

My developer is building some charts, but we are having serious problems with the different sized numbers.
For example - if you have 88 and 11 - the 88 is taking up more space than the 11 and i want them to be uniform - so whatever the number is they will take up the same amount of space and not make the chart look scrappy.
A good example of how this works well is : 24hgold.com
we have done all of the obvious like changing fonts, etc... But still had no luck.

So basically i'm trying to get a fixed character width in PHP GD

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried the courier font? I thought that was evenly spaced.

Think accelerator is on the money, sounds like you need a monospaced font.

Monospaced font - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

GD.pm - Interface to Gd Graphics Library - search.cpan.org

There are four built-in monospaced fonts, available in the global variables gdGiantFont, gdLargeFont, gdMediumBoldFont, gdSmallFont and gdTinyFont.
