Call to undefined function imagettftext()

tuf-web_co_uk

i recently decided to start using some gd tools, as my new web host supported them.

i checked this out from using phpinfo(), this is what i got under gd

GD Support enabled

GD Version bundled (2.0.22 compatible)

GIF Read Support enabled

JPG Support enabled

PNG Support enabled

WBMP Support enabled

XBM Support enabled

from this i thought, oh good i do it

but then when i tried to run a simple test script

<?php 
header("Content-type: image/png"); 
$image = imagecreatefrompng("gs-banner-sm.png"); 
$font_size = 14; 
$color = imagecolorallocate($image, 255,255,255); 
$black = imagecolorallocate($image, 0,0,0); 
imagettftext ($image, $font_size, 0, 56, 36, $black, "./arial.ttf","Test Text"); 
imagettftext ($image, $font_size, 0, 55, 35, $color, "./arial.ttf","Test Text"); 
imagepng($image); 
imagedestroy($image);
?>

i got the above error

am i doing anything wrong, or is there something wrong with my host?

thanks

Was GD compiled with Freetype support? I suspect not...

i can honestly say i dont know, i got my site from a hosting company

how should i approach them into getting freetype support?
