how to get postscript to work with php/gd?

Does anybody know? I know gd I edit the makefile and can support older version of freetype however, for certain reasons I can't install freetype 2, and I was considering postscript fonts Does anybody know from experience how to get gd/php working with them? the goal is just better font support with gd/php instead of the default text that is displayed Thanks. I have had trouble finding for sure which course of action to take for linux (raq 3) so I hope this isn't too off topic joel
