From experience, GD appears to handle UTF-8 just fine. Perhaps the font just doesn't have the necessary characters? I've yet to see a single font which includes the whole UTF-8 character set.

That sounds very interesting indeed. Would you be willing to post a zip/tar.gz of the new php scripts on this thread? Thanks!

Could be a weirdness in Windows, too. Hmm, I'll have to revisit this. I've actually forgotten the reason why I switched to using exec() with 7z CLI. I remember getting a working output using the standard zip class at one point in time.

I'm using a highly customized version, though. The code may be a big mess and modifications a big headache but it's highly functional and works with the fanfic sites I use.
