Bob, Ben, David, Robert, Thank you all for responding. Just to recap, I'm trying to find out why I can write text into a PNG image on one server, but not on another. After much playing around, I have a list of the different configuration modules installed on the two servers. The lists below are lists of the modules *not* in common between them. >From what I can see, none of the modules that the behaving server have that the misbehaving server doesn't has anything to do with fonts or images. So my suspicion is starting to be that maybe the problem is not in the PHP set up, but elsewhere. Before I move on to other possible solutions, I'd like to double check with more experienced eyes. Do any of the modules here affect text in PNG files? Misbehaving Server: '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-pdo' '--enable-soap' '--enable-zip' '--with-apxs2' '--with-curl' '--with-curl=/usr/local/lib' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mhash' '--with-openssl' '--with-pear' '--with-pdo-mysql' '--with-pdo-sqlite' '--with-sqlite' '--with-xmlrpc' '--with-unixODBC=/usr' Behaving Server: '--disable-pdo' '--enable-libxml' '--prefix=/usr/local' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-imap=/opt/php_with_imap_client/' '--with-imap-ssl=/usr' '--with-libxml-dir=/opt/xml2/' '--with-mime-magic' '--with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6' And, just to note, *both* servers have the following: * '--with-gd' * '--with-ttf' * '--enable-gd-native-ttf' -- Dave M G http://tlug.jp/mediawiki/index.php?title=User:Dave_M_G -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
