GD and PHP versions

Ok, this is rediculous-- I had 4.0.6 installed and was using GD lib with ImageCreateTrueColor(...). However, the font library was retarded and would NOT open a TTF font to save its life (abolute path given or not). So I just updated to 4.1.0 and ran my page through again and this is what I get: Fatal error: imagecopyresampled(): requires GD 2.0 or later in c:\home\postcard\pcpreview.php on line 23 So I look at PHPINFO() and it reports "1.6.2 or later". What is the matter with revision integrity here? I want/NEED a working combination of GD Lib (preferably with ImageCopyResample(...) which apparently is not available in this revision of GD), and TTF support. Are the different "Linkage Types" for FreeType documented somewhere? I've seen "TTF Library", "with FreeType", and another one besides but it escapes my understanding what the difference is between these things. Any help please! RDB
