Hello and thanks for your time. After endless searching, I am still lost

let's just assume I can't install freetype, and it looks like that for 
matters I won't get into. (linux, raq 3) 

I obviously need gd to create images and create text onto them
But I want to be able to use normal standard fonts besides the default font
that is used with text strings

am I to believe without freetype, I can't do this? Am I just stuck with the 
default text font without freetype? Or is there another solution? Or do I 
just look for a fonts directory and call it during a php script using gd? 
MIght seem like a simple q
but to this newbie, it's vital and I cannot find documentation on non 
freetype solutions

Thanks so much 

Joel
