Strange warning message GD2 & php 4.1.2

Perhaps someone can kindly help me with the following problem. The following snippet runs perfectly when I use php_gd.dll but generates a garbled warning message when I switch the extension to php_gd2.dll "Warning: @Ép in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\test.php on line 10" (line 10 being the imageTTFText call) $image = imagecreate(500, 500); define( 'BEIGE', imagecolorallocate($image, 245, 245, 220) ); # Automaticaly 1st is Background color define( 'BLACK', imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0) ); imageTTFText($image, 32, 0, 100, 100, BLACK, 'c:/WINNT/Fonts/times.ttf', 'HELLO'); header('Content-type: image/png'); imagepng($image); Cheers, Mark
