This plugin requires ImageMagick to be installed. The exact ImageMagick version required seems to be around 6.3.9-6. I am using 6.3.7 without problems but 6.2 has been reported not to work. Thanks to Dario C. for this information!
Some fonts do not get drawn properly by the integrated Facelift image generator. This is due to a feature of PHP's GD. These fonts typically include characters with long tails that extend beyond their boundaries.
FancyFonts uses ImageMagick to generate images, which does not have the same drawback.
To use FancyFonts
In your facelift directory, edit plugins/FancyFonts.php and change define('IM_EXEC_PATH', ''); to the location of your ImageMagick binaries (with a trailing slash).
Create a new FLIRStyle Object and set the mode to 'fancyfonts'. You could do this by passing it along with the FLIR.init call:
FLIR.init( new FLIRStyle( { mode:'fancyfonts' } ) );
