But thanks for your investigation. It is of great value to XAMP users.

$p = imageftbbox($size, 0, $this->fontfile, $string);

Adding the extra b got it to work once I enabled the GD extension. (disable in XAMPP by default)

I thought I made the change from imagetftbbox to imagetftbox. I will have to look at the source and my repo.

I change it to imagetftbox and it's still returning the same error.

This comment was in the PHP docs.

My PHP Information

Where can I download a PHP 8.0.12 binary set that will work with FA? It seems XAMPP has dropped GD support in their latest release.

Love the debug option. Thanks for that tip!

Update

I noticed in the php.ini the GD extension was remarked out. Enabled it and phpinfo now shows GD enabled. The graphics still aren't working in FA.

extension=gd

Debug Error Log

I have php 8.0.12 (x86) installed on a WAMP Server (Windows 10 Home). The graphics are just looking fine here.

Please set the $go_debug flag to 2  in the file, config.php, for catching any errors, and report back to us. Thanks in advance.

Looking forward to seeing a fix for PHP 8.

What library or code am I missing under Windows that XAMPP isn't providing?

Update

I had install virgin 2.4.10 on another Windows 10 laptop a short while ago. The graphics are working. The latest install is from my repo of FA that has all the current fixes. The new install is using PHP 8.0.12 while the older install in running PHP 7.3.31.

Update II

I installed the latest 2.4.10 from my repo onto the older laptop running PHP 7.3.31 and the graphics are working. It seems this is a PHP 8.0.12 issue.

Update III

I tried to copy the php directory from the working PHP7 laptop to the new install. XAMMP wouldn't start Apache using that version of PHP. 

XAMPP is currently distributing PHP 8.0.12 with their install.
