Hello,
After reading Practical PHP Programing I came across a reference that
said "On Unix machines, you may find PHP searches in
/usr/share/fonts/truetype". Well I find that my php script executes
successfully when I placing my arial.ttf file into
/usr/share/fonts/truetype directory.
So I tried using "|putenv('GDFONTPATH=' . realpath('.'));" and "$font
= dirname(__FILE__).'/arial.ttf';" and I can not over ride the
GDFONTPATH from search in | /usr/share/fonts/truetype.
Do I have other options that will allow me to point to the ttf file
local to the php script? Is this a bug ?
Thanks,
Lou

Hello,
I'm trying to move a site over to the V5 of CentOS and I having
problems with php/gd/freetype. It looks like my older
systems which is running php-4.3.8-1.1, gd-2.0.15-1, freetype-2.1.4-5
can execute the code successfully.
Now when I try to execute the same code on CentOS V5 with php-5.2.6,
php-gd-5.2.6, gd-2.0.33-9.4,
freetype-2.2.1-20 the same piece of code fails with the error:

I read through php.net and marc.info but I have not yet found a
solution, Any ideas?
Thanks,

<?php
//header("Content-type: image/png");
$im = imagecreate(400, 30);
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$text = 'BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBleh...';
$font = 'arial.ttf';
putenv( 'GDFONTPATH='.realpath('.') );
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 11, 21, $grey, $font, $text);
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text);

imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
