Coming Up : Simple Captcha 2.0
September 14th, 2008
After a long silence, Simple Captcha is back in move now. Simple Captcha 2.0 will be here very soon.
Here are some very useful features coming up with Simple Captcha 2.0
- Ajax based refreshing of captcha image — a much awaiting one!
- Full control on the image font — now this is fun-do! You would be able to use any font.. yeah literally any font. The overview of this feature is that you would just need to put .ttf font file in the plugin’s directory and that is it. Cool yeah ?
- Better control on the default values and settings via simple_captcha.yml file.
- Ability do define/undefine case sensitivity.

I am trying to use simple_captcha plugin but getting following error :-
Magick::ImageMagickError (unable to read font `(null)’ @ annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1315: `(null)’):
/vendor/plugins/simple_captcha/lib/simple_captcha_image.rb:48:in `annotate’
/vendor/plugins/simple_captcha/lib/simple_captcha_image.rb:48:in `append_simple_captcha_code’

/vendor/plugins/simple_captcha/lib/simple_captcha_controller.rb:12:in `simple_captcha’
I looked into assets folder and found there is no images folder in it.
