OK. I was using "--enable-gd-native-ttf", so this didn't come up.

Yes a typo, although I could have sworn I had written it the correct way around.

Ouch. This is because gdttf.c assumes freetype 1.x.
A workaround is to use --enable-gd-native-ttf, but beware! the font size is then
measured in points whereas it was previously measured in pixels - the fonts on your
images will get bigger unless you adjust your PHP code.
I'm not sure what to do about this - the native GD routines look nicer (fonts are
smoother). Is it worth the trouble of updating the PHP equivalent for GD 2.0 and
later?
For now, I have settled on the following behaviour:
./configure
"--with-jpeg-dir" \
"--with-png-dir" \
"--with-freetype-dir" \
"--with-gd"
If freetype2 is found, --with-ttf=no and --enable-gd-native-ttf are assumed.
This is going into CVS as we speak.
