What happened to Imagettftext() function in PHP 4.0.7 and GD 2.1?

I'm working on a project which needs a text rendered to JPEG-image, but when I use the imagettftext() function I get very ugly/damage font (I'm using PHP 4.0.7 and GD 2.1 downloaded from php4win.com, IIS). However, if I use the GD 1.6 instead I get the font okay. I do need to have the GD 2.1 version working and I of course I can't use the both versions at the same time. Does anyone know why the true type fonts gets very so ugly/damage in this latest GD version? Do you know how I can bypass this problem? Thanks!
