Heh, sure...
By default GD doesn't compile without freetype installed.
Today here's what I've tried :
FreeBSD 4.3 :
Apache 1.3.20 + PHP 4.04pl1 + lib GD 1.8.3 + freetype 1.3.1 << doesn't work
Apache 1.3.20 + PHP 4.06 + lib GD 1.8.3 + freetype 1.3.1 << doesn't work
Apache 1.3.20 + PHP 4.06 + lib GD 1.8.4 + freetype 2.0.4 << doesn't work
Apache 1.3.20 + PHP 4.06 + lib GD 2.0.1.beta + freetype 2.0.4 << doesn't work
Linux 2.2 :
Apache 1.3.20 + PHP 4.03pl1 + lib GD 1.8.3 + freetype 1.3.1 << worked
Apache 1.3.20 + PHP 4.06 + lib GD 1.8.4 + freetype 2.0.4 << doesn't work
The only difference in the version that works is PHP is not a dynamic module.

That "libgd was not built with TrueType font support" message comes from the GD
library itself, not PHP.
Did you compile the GD library with TrueType font support?
--Wez.

<? imagettfbbox(5, 0, "x.ttf", "the text"); ?>
shows : Warning: libgd was not built with TrueType font support in /www/test2.php on
line 1
phpinfo();
shows :
gd
GD Support enabled
GD Version 1.6.2 or higher
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
So basically I'd say something is not working correctly.
I have tried with PHP 4.0.6 on 2 FreeBSD servers I have.
Here's my configure line :
./configure --enable-inline-optimization --with-apxs --enable-calendar --enable-ftp
--enable-track-vars --with-gd=/usr/local --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local --with-mysql
All looks ok during config & compilation of PHP.
Here's what shows:
checking whether to include GD support... yes
checking whether to enable truetype string function in gd... no
checking for freetype(2)... yes
checking whether to include include FreeType 1.x support... no
checking whether to include T1lib support... no
checking for gdImageString16 in -lgd... (cached) yes
checking for gdImagePaletteCopy in -lgd... (cached) yes
checking for gdImageCreateFromPng in -lgd... (cached) yes
checking for gdImageCreateFromGif in -lgd... (cached) no
...
I tried with --enable-gd-native-ttf and --enable-gd-imgstrttf, it's not better.
Also note that there is an error in the configure script :
> cat configure | grep -i native-tt
--enable-gd-native-ttf GD: Enable TrueType string function in gd"
# Check whether --enable-gd-native-tt or --disable-gd-native-tt was given.
It's confusing... --enable-gd-native-tt or --enable-gd-native-ttf ?
Thanks,
Philippe Bourcier
