PHP4 + FreeType -- segfault?

Server: Apache/1.3.14 Ben-SSL/1.42 (Unix) PHP/4.0.3pl1 Optional libraries: GD, PDFLib, jpeg, png, tiff, mysql, ttf I'm having troubles with TTF library calls (FreeType 1.3.1) They seemed to compile and install okay (AND I recompiled PHP to include them - phpinfo reports), and the server restarts successfully. GD Support enabled GD Version 1.6.2 or higher FreeType Support enabled FreeType Linkage with TTF library GIF Support enabled PNG Support enabled JPG Support enabled WBMP Support enabled ImageTTFBBox() results in expected values (most importantly, it doesn't crash - thus I know the font file is readable and file is being opened an interpreted by the freetype library). ImageString sort of works -- it produces rather small output, but seems indifferent from font to font (unless I specify a number for a static font), while ImageTTFText causes the httpd to close outright: [Sun Dec 3 23:45:23 2000] [notice] child pid 10555 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) This results in the client getting the "Document contains no data" type of error message, which isn't surprising considering the server daemon closed down. If I deliberatley specify a non-existant font filename (or a file which is not a font), I get an error displayed by PHP. But woe is me if it IS a font. FTR, I'm initially dealing with the common fonts, such as times and arial, so I don't suspect the TTF files. Absolute path IS being specified to the TTF file. At first, I assumed that FreeType might actually require X in order to render font images, but the README for it clearly states otherwise (I run my servers in console mode only). Also, I didn't spot this in the documentation - but just how does one go about specifying a subfont in a TTF library, or does PHP4 not allow for this? Pointers anyone? --- Please DO NOT carbon me on list replies. I'll get my copy from the list. Sean B. Straw / Professional Software Engineering Post Box 2395 / San Rafael, CA 94912-2395
