Why don't you try with Freetype 2? That might actually work..

Additional note:
After further dealing with this issue I found that
imagettftext works fine on 8 bit images (when using
"imagecreate" instead of "imagecreatetruecolor"), but not
on true color images.
There is a workaround proposal published by
"persa"
(http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=30767)
that is to create two images (one of them at 8 bit) and
then merging them together after putting the text onto the
8 bit image.
It actually seems to be a bug, doesn't it?
Best regards,
Andreas

Description:
------------
The ImageTTFText function produces no result, but also no
error. I've tried several font files (Microsoft TT core
fonts and also from other sources), several paths (the
same dir as the PHP script, relative to DocRoot, absolute
path a.s.o.).
It looks like not calling imagettftext - the function
silently does nothing...
I have Debian "Woody" with Apache 1.3.29 / PHP 4.4.0. The
GD lib is the bundled one (phpinfo says: "2.0.28
compatible"). The Freetype lib version is 1.4pre, as
provided from Debian package manager.
PHP configure options:
'./configure' '--with-apxs=/var/www/bin/apxs'
'--with-mysql' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-shared'
'--with-iconv' '--with-gd' '--with-curl'
'--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr'
'--with-dom=/usr' '--with-zlib' '--enable-cli'
'--with-ttf=/usr'
Output snippet from phpinfo:

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
header("Content-type: image/png");
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 30);
$grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 102, 102, 102);
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$red = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 0, 0);
imagefill($im, 0, 0, $grey);
$fontfile = realpath("./Arial.ttf");
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $white, $fontfile, "Hello World!");
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Displays an image with white-colored text "Hello World" in
Arial font face on grey background.
Actual result:
--------------
Displays an grey-colored image without any text (empty
grey box). No error messages.
