It's a GD bug; I know this because my patched GD works fine with TTF.
I submitted the patch to the GD folks a while ago.

How do you know? All I said was that this was known, but that I don't
know what causes truecolour images to not support anti-aliasing. ie.
whether the bug is in PHP or GD or a combination of both is yet to be
determined.

Not a PHP bug then..

Yes, this is known. Anti-aliasing of TTF fonts in GD2 only works with
paletted images. No idea why. Try asking the GD folks.

More on the problem. (This could be a libGD bug, but the libGD test
works fine, but I'm not sure if its doing the same thing)
This is from the ./configure to show that it is configured right (I
have removed some lines to make it shorter):
checking whether to include GD support... yes
checking whether to enable truetype string function in gd... yes
checking for freetype(2)... yes
checking whether to include include FreeType 1.x support... no
checking whether to include T1lib support... yes
checking for T1_LoadFont in -lt1... yes
checking for gdImageCreateFromPng in -lgd... yes
checking for gdImageCreateFromJpeg in -lgd... yes
checking for gdImageCreateTrueColor in -lgd... Yes
So here is the script:
<?php
Header ("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$im = imagecreatetruecolor (400, 30);
$black = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$white = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
ImageTTFText ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $white, "/Fonts/arial.ttf",
"Testing... Omega: Ω");
ImageJPEG ($im);
ImageDestroy ($im);
?>
I have also found out if I do not use truecolor, then the font is ok,
but if I create from a jpeg or png, I get crap fonts. I guess its a
truecolor problem. I dont know if it is in PHP or in GD. Maybe I'm
posting this to the wrong place. Is anyone else using libGD2 and
truecolor TTF graphics?
Here is some samples that I made:

Thank you for your help.
