If you set GDFONTPATH to this directory only, it is to be expected
that the font can't be found, unless the fontfile would also be
placed in this directory.
Also, please clarify which error message you actually get: "Could
not read font" or "Could not find/open font".

I found a solution! It seems to be a problem of freetype...
Just mount the cifs with the "noserverinfo" option and it will work.

PS: I tried to write a comment to the linke above but I was not able to do so. Maybe someone else
could push a bit to get this bug solved.

Description:
------------
Trying to open a .ttf file in a CIFS mounted share (644 file permissions) causes
PHP Warning: imagefttext(): Could not read font in
/var/www/whatever/whatever/morewhatever/whatever/whatever/test.php on line 23
I tried to create the attached script (which sets GDFONTPATH to the current dir)
to have a test. When run from /tmp with all the font files in the same directory,
it works.
But when I moved into a CIFS mounted webroot, it stops working. It also fails when
executing from the command line, from apache, as root, etc.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$cwd = getcwd();
putenv("GDFONTPATH=$cwd");
// Note: You can find DejaVuSans.ttf on /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/
// if you "apt-get install ttf-dejavu"
$font1 = 'DejaVuSans.ttf';
$image = imagecreate( 400, 400 );
$bgcolor = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 0, 0);
$color = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 0);
imagefttext( $image, 10, 0, 100, 100, $color, $font1, 'Test1');
header("Content-Type: image/png");
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Both on a cifs mounted drive and a normal path you should get the PNG image with
the "Test1" string.
Actual result:
--------------
# php test.php
PHP Warning: imagefttext(): Could not find/open font in
/var/www/phemiumconsultant/portals/consultant/runtime3g/layouts/fonts/test.php on
line 12
