ID: 12065 Updated by: wez Reported By: rip@undernet.org Old Summary: "libgd was not built with TrueType font support" problem Old Status: Open Status: Feedback Bug Type: GD related Operating System: FreeBSD 4.3 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: That "libgd was not built with TrueType font support" message comes from the GD library itself, not PHP. Did you compile the GD library with TrueType font support?
Heh, sure... By default GD doesn't compile without freetype installed. Today here's what I've tried : FreeBSD 4.3 : Apache 1.3.20 + PHP 4.04pl1 + lib GD 1.8.3 + freetype 1.3.1 << doesn't work Apache 1.3.20 + PHP 4.06 + lib GD 1.8.3 + freetype 1.3.1 << doesn't work Apache 1.3.20 + PHP 4.06 + lib GD 1.8.4 + freetype 2.0.4 << doesn't work Apache 1.3.20 + PHP 4.06 + lib GD 2.0.1.beta + freetype 2.0.4 << doesn't work Linux 2.2 : Apache 1.3.20 + PHP 4.03pl1 + lib GD 1.8.3 + freetype 1.3.1 << worked Apache 1.3.20 + PHP 4.06 + lib GD 1.8.4 + freetype 2.0.4 << doesn't work The only difference in the version that works is PHP is not a dynamic module.
--Wez. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-11 16:08:16] rip@undernet.org <? imagettfbbox(5, 0, "x.ttf", "the text"); ?> shows : Warning: libgd was not built with TrueType font support in /www/test2.php on line 1 phpinfo(); shows : gd GD Support enabled GD Version 1.6.2 or higher FreeType Support enabled FreeType Linkage with freetype JPG Support enabled PNG Support enabled WBMP Support enabled So basically I'd say something is not working correctly. I have tried with PHP 4.0.6 on 2 FreeBSD servers I have. Here's my configure line : ./configure --enable-inline-optimization --with-apxs --enable-calendar --enable-ftp --enable-track-vars --with-gd=/usr/local --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local --with-mysql All looks ok during config & compilation of PHP. Here's what shows: checking whether to include GD support... yes checking whether to enable truetype string function in gd... no checking for freetype(2)... yes checking whether to include include FreeType 1.x support... no checking whether to include T1lib support... no checking for gdImageString16 in -lgd... (cached) yes checking for gdImagePaletteCopy in -lgd... (cached) yes checking for gdImageCreateFromPng in -lgd... (cached) yes checking for gdImageCreateFromGif in -lgd... (cached) no ... I tried with --enable-gd-native-ttf and --enable-gd-imgstrttf, it's not better. Also note that there is an error in the configure script : cat configure | grep -i native-tt
  --enable-gd-native-ttf    GD: Enable TrueType string function in gd"
# Check whether --enable-gd-native-tt or --disable-gd-native-tt was given. It's confusing... --enable-gd-native-tt or --enable-gd-native-ttf ?
