At last, a use for Wingdings font
Posted: Sun 13 Mar 2011 4:02 am
I decided to add realtime information to my webcam image, as I found I was flipping between the webcam and "now" pages, so I used the banner.php code to write the current data from realtime.txt onto the webcam image that is uploaded by Yawcam.
Rather than writing "rising" or "falling" etc, I added Wingdings 3 TTF to the fonts folder and use the 'h', 'i', and 'n' symbols (= up, down, sideways arrows) to indicate the pressure trend.
So far, working nicely (thanks to TNET code), including when wecam is offline.
