Replacement Tags
{GT:style}text{/GT}
This is really easy to use. You have to define styles in the backend that you can use in the frontend.
You will need freetype support enabled on your server. Search your phpinfo() for the string "freetype" to check if you have it.
For transparency you need at least PHP 4.3.2.
Code: Select all
