PHP problem with freetype

I've installed PHP-4.0.6 using the following configuration: './configure' '--prefix=/ECommerce/bin/apache/1.3.22' '--with-oci8=/opt/apps/oracle/8.1.7' '--with-apxs=/ECommerce/bin/apache/1.3.22/bin/apxs' '--without-mysql' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr/local' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local' '--enable-ftp' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-t1lib=/usr/local' '--with-ttf=/usr/local' '--with-gd=/usr/local' phpinfo() says that GD support is enabled, Freetype support is enabled and has freetype linkage, t1lib, jpeg, png and wbmp supports are all enabled. In short, the installation looks successful. Unfortunately, the developers cannot get the freetype functionality. If no font is specified, then the system chooses its own font which is then displayed. However, if a font like arial is explicitly named, then the fonts are not visible. Does anybody have any ideas as to what is going on? M. Dowling HEW
