Hi,
I'm having big headaches getting php-4.0.6 to work with gd/truetype.
After countless builds I've noticed
php-4.0.6 needs the --enable-gd-native-tt (without an ending f) option
to build native truetype support,
but configure --help says it is --enable-gd-native-ttf (with an ending
f). In another test, I noticed php-4.0.1
needs an --enable-gd-native-ttf (with f). It is so or I'm getting crazy?
But this is not the end of my struggle. With or without ending f, I
cannot get the gdImageStringFTEx
function enabled. Below is my php configure output:
...

checking whether to enable truetype string function in gd... yes

I think this is the cause of my text output jaggies, as you can see
there:
http://www.maresme.net/freetype.php?size=36&text=Merry%20Christmas!&font=arial.ttf
This is a php.cgi built in a FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE shared account
(--prefix=/usr/home/USERNAME/local). The details of my setup are here:

I'd really thank very much any help!
