I think this might be why ImageTTFtext from the Image Functions does not
work when using GD 2.0.0 or higher (php_gd2.dll). If you use php_gd.dll this
function works but the GD library doesn't support true color support. If you
want true color support you have to use php_gd2.dll but then this function
doesnt work. Anyone experiencing the same problem? Could anyone recompile
the php_gd2.dll with Freetype and see if this is the problem?
Does anyone know if the same person who compiled php_gd.dll also
compiled php_gd2.dll?
I think the problem might be that whoever compiled the php_gd2.dll that
ships with PHP forgot to compile FreeType library while compiling GD.
This is only a guess because I heard someone say that ImageTTFtext works
on unix machines which leads me to believe this is the problem. I would
test it myself but I don't know how to compile the file :-(
