GD & ttf's

[Anon]

I'm trying to use the GD library for the first time. I have successfully created an image, but I'm having problems putting text in those images. Any ideas on how I can get this working?

Thanks,
DLB

Here's the source code I modified from an example I found.

<?php
Header ("Content-type: image/png");
$im = imagecreate (400, 30);
$black = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$blue = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 255);
ImageTTFText ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $blue, "/usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType/timr____.ttf", "Testing...");
ImagePNG ($im);
ImageDestroy ($im);
?>

And this is what was returned.
Warning: ImageTtfText: No TTF support in this PHP build in /www/test/test1.php on line 7

phpinfo() shows the following items of interest in the configure command:
'--with-gd'
'--with-gdbm'
'--with-gettext'
'--with-jpeg-dir=/usr'
'--with-png'
'--with-ttf'
'--with-zlib'

using phpinfo() under gd, where it says FreeType Linkage, does it say with TTF library ?

No. What do I need to do to add that? The freetype lib is already on the system (linux).

For what it's worth, this is what I have in the gd section.

GD Support enabled
GD Version 1.6.2 or higher
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled

Thanks for your response!
