Under 4.0.6 of PHP, use an absolute path to the font file without referencing the drive. Try the following:

<?php
Header ("Content-type: image/gif");
$im = imagecreate (400, 30);
$black = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$white = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
ImageTTFText ($im, 20, 0, 10, 24, $white, "/winnt/fonts/arial.ttf",
"This should work.");
ImagePNG ($im);
ImageDestroy ($im);
?>

Prior to PHP 4.0.6, I always needed to specify the drive letter. I believe the drive letter issue is resolved in the 4.0.7 CVS. Can you provide some context around line 86 of your code, or better yet the lines of code from IMAGECREATE to IMAGEDESTROY?

Thank you for your reply.
i had found why the imagettftext can't work.
my gd libray have some problem,It can't work
properly.After recopy the php_gd.dll the problem solved.But i didn't input the driver letter in $path,it work with no problem.Maybe
whether use or not use,it can work prperly both.
