Problems with grahpics

[Anon]

I am trying to put a black piece of text on a picture (almost white background):

$im = ImageCreateFromJpeg ("$motiv");
$black = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$white = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
$font=ImagePsLoadFont("/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/z003034l.pfb");
$data = imagepstext($im, $mytext[$o], $font, 32, $black, $white, 200, $xstart);

Does anybody have an idea why the text which will be placed on the image is pink?
I have no idea; I have tried a lot of settings but it simply doesn't work - any ideas? Please email me.

jpeg can use indexed colors. by specifying an exact color you may not get what you want.

read the manual for several work arounds or try using ImageColorClosest()
