Nice script!! All I could improve was how it is called. I used.
echo ‘ ‘; so no actual address goes on the page.
I also added imagecolortransparent($im, $white);
after line 37 to remove the white box around the text.

Thanks very much for sharing this! I love how it basically shrinks the size of the image to as small as necessary to display the email properly – so excess space is taken up which could overwise make formatting tricky.

That’s interesting that you mention the obfuscation method from Smarty, as I just started using it the other day. While I don’t think it’s as easy to use if you’re using something like, say, HTML to display your email it is definitely amazing at controlling what people see. Thanks for adding this point.

Very interesting idea indeed. Those having difficulties with programming (or have no access to PHP on their servers) would also find it handy to use a manual tool for obfuscation that works very much like the one bundled in Smarty template engine: obfuscatr. It's a Mac OS X Dashboard widget that uses JavaScript to encode the email addy. Read more about it.

this is a great way to pretty much hide your email to spambots. with the same purpose in mind, do an email form does the same?

it is a great measure against spam bots to display your e-mail address as an image, and I definitely want to play around with different fonts to see how it looks
