Re: [PHP] Why is imageTTFtext function useless?(again)

[Jim]

Your problem doesn't have anything to do with PHP. The error says 
that libgd doesn't offer freetype support, so you need to get a more 
current version of gd.

No idea, check your config.log and see why it is failing.

Re: [PHP] Why is imageTTFtext function useless?(again)

[zhaoxd]

Whatever I tried ,it is also useless,why?

This time I compile it with freetype-1.3.1.when I used the test code , it also said  
"libgd was not built with FreeType font support in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/test.php 
on line 14".

Would you mind tell me how you do this? I just wanna support FreeType font in my gd so 
as to use gd function like ImageTTFText ,etc.

Thank you
