note 23556 added to function.imagettftext

You wont' get very accurate result if you use smaller font size ( < 12 pt ) There is nothing wrong in php or gd or even in freetype. It is just how truetype font works. You can see that you get same horrible result from your MS Windows wordpad. If you want better result like you Photoshop gives, you better add a function in your php source like imagewyswygttftext.
