No, I was just trying to simplify everything for the sake of the post.

Technically, it's being set via CSS in a <div>. When it renders on the
screen, it's actually more like:

<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica; font-size: 9pt">
$variable
</div>

I'm not sure that I follow. This is my first attempt with
imagettfbbox() (and I've only barely used GD, mostly with Perl), so I
could be wrong, but I thought that this was what the above script did?

Is there a reason that it would be correct with arial.ttf, but not
arialbd.tff?
