Hello and thanks for your time.
After endless searching, I am still lost
let's just assume I can't install freetype, and it looks like that for
matters I won't get into. (linux, raq 3)
What solution would allow me to specify fonts for text written into images?
Instead of using the default font, imagine I want to use "helvetica". Am I
out of luck without freetype? And if somehow I get freetype installed does
php allow the method to name the font such as "Arial" and if so, which file
do I edit so by default I can specify the font so the text written to the
image looks as I intended? Thanks. I searched and couldn't find answer to
both q's, esp. the first.

Hi Joel,
If you want to use PostScript fonts you may install the T1 Lib
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/libs/graphics/t1lib-1.3.1.tar.gz
compile T1, compile php & gdlib with T1 support
Best,
Sebastian
