Old Summary: "libgd was not built with TrueType font support" problem
Old Status:
Status: Feedback
Bug Type: GD related
Operating System: FreeBSD 4.3
PHP Version: 4.0.6
New Comment:
The only thing that I can think of is that you have and older version of libgd.so or
libgd.a hanging around that is mistakenly being linked in instead of the one you were
expecting, and that configure found.
Please look around your system to see if that is the case; I would recommend moving
the duplicates to some not in the lib path temporarily while compiling PHP and see if
you still have the same problem.

oops... I had to reply here... sorry.
Re
True, for GD I always have this in the Makefile :
CFLAGS=-O -DHAVE_LIBPNG -DHAVE_LIBJPEG -DHAVE_LIBFREETYPE
LIBS=-lgd -lpng -lz -ljpeg -lfreetype -lm
Can you successfully run the GD test programs that work with TTF/Freetype? (if there
are any).
Yes.
I modified gdtestft.c to load the arial font instead of the "times" one by default.

Another proof of GD having freetype compiled with it is the phpinfo() result :
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
(with freetype 2)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with TTF library
(with freetype 1)
If phpinfo() says it's ok and then the function says it's bugged... then I say
something is wrong.

Try this short program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "gd.h"
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
gdImagePtr im;
im = gdImageCreate(100,100);
printf("TTF returns %s\n",
gdImageStringTTF(im, NULL, 1, "dummy.ttf",
12, 0, 0, 0, "test"));
gdImageDestroy (im);
return 0;
}
Then do:
gcc gdttf.c -lgd -ljpeg -lpng -lfreetype -lm
Try -lttf instead of -lfreetype, depending on which you have installed.
If you still get the "libgd was not built with TrueType font support", then you
haven't build gd with TrueType font support.
If you get any other error, then something screwy is going on.

Are you really, really sure that GD is linked with freetype support??
"By default GD doesn't compile without freetype installed"
That statement is not correct in any of the GD sources that I have seen; you need to
explicitly enable TTF/Freetype support in the makefiles.
Can you successfully run the GD test programs that work with TTF/Freetype? (if there
are any).

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?
